With the shit that's coming our way, anybody whose of the "sheepdog" mindset might want to be thinking about this. Because there might come the time in the very near future when you're forced to do your best "Minuteman" impression, and if that comes this is one threat you need to be prepared for.

Tactics For Engaging Green Light Laser Threats

FYI there is such a thing as a "laser hobbyist." Just like there are guys who are flashlight hobbyists, wristwatch hobbyists, smartphone hobbyists, ... anything of a technical nature is sure to have a following with an online forum. I mention this because I have seen some of their videos. And many of the lasers sold "over the counter," which are supposed to have their power regulated by government decree, are easily 'hackable' so you can make them powerful enough to set shit on fire or burn through a soda can. Even some that are "OTC" have been found to be "overpowered," well more powerful than the law allows. Yet they're sold in department and big box stores as garden-variety pointers but they still could potentially burn out your fovea centralis.

In this environment, I'm taking it for granted that there are NO eye-safe lasers. Any laser pointed at me is being done with intent and ability to maim, and I will respond accordingly.
