OK... if this came up in class... and it has...:
"So tell me... how is it a liability to place a device upon a firearm, which will assist the shooter in more reliably hitting a target...say a bad guy who is trying to harm innocent people...does the laser act as a device to insure you hit the intended target and that the round is less likely to miss and hit an innocent person...?"
If that is your story...God Bless and stick to it... I have reservations about lasers unless the primary practice is with the sights..the iron ones not the laser thing... but I believe they do have their place. I have several elderly clients who did alot of practice ... 40+ years or more ago... with "point shooting"... they seem to benefit greatly from the laser.
What I see more often than lasers, and that which I feel is much more liability prone... are those folks who do a "trigger job" on their glock and wind up with a 2lb trigger and then carry the gun for ccw... or pin the grip safety on their 1911 or remove the firing pin safety on their series 80... explain removing/pinning a safety device on your carry gun....to plaintiffs attorney...that'll be a new kinda fun and excitement.... ooooooeeeeee
