Thanks Peter,
Your point also raises the interesting issue - as a laser rifle sight it is legal, but if you use it for something harmless to show people the planets and constellations...... then it is doing the same thing as a prohibited weapon!
Maybe you have to keep it on your rifle to keep it legal for astronomy usage?
Cheers,
