Yes, I understand why the prohibition, but I don't understand why it would exist for responsible astronomy use at the same time. I did look up the yearly cost of a permit but cannot find it at the moment. As I recall the permit fee was more the the purchase price of a laser pointer, and that was before the big price drop of the last months.


(Edit: found the fee - $148.80 if one doesn't hold a licence under the Firearms Act. Not sure how long a period of time that fee covers. By the way - storage requirements for the prohibited weapon apply as well).
