I"m sure Randall is a good shot, but I'm thinkin.. bald head...look up...uh oh!
I love to have fun as much as anybody, but I'm assuming we are all adults and are very careful knowing the risks.... there are little eyes that read these forums too and have vain imaginations of impressing thier friends at school etc and aren't so careful.
I know even outside shots have been banned from display on CPF...which is a bummer as the original use for these are star pointers and many glorious shots can be done outdoors... but a few that were irresponsible ruin't it for the many.
This forum is not a target yet and still off the radar, but many people browse these things that have many other intentions and motives "other" than being a responsible hobbyist. We have to be careful what we publically speak about in respect to zapping other people, or animals... simply because young kids that get on here tend to idolize our actions and won't be so responsible and "poof" the infamous green lazer will again be in the headlines!
I spoke about zapping nasty spiders that come out of the trees at night on CPF and a moderator got upset because they thought the thread was turning into a fun specatacle of zapping animals!... Heck they sell bug spray to zap spiders!.... I don't see any for zapping dogs or cats?....Maybe there should be since they have been killing small kids lately in the news? Some people have no reasoning skills and cannot separate whats important and whats not. Sometimes I think kids are moderators as they interject thier own goofy values that distract from the point!!! LOL!
The "little" lasers can be "so concealed", they are most likely the ones that when used in the wrong hands can ruin it for all of us if we're not careful. But thats also the beauty.. you can carry it all day without sending out a flag you have one and use it when appropriate.
