If you live in Victoria, you will need to obtain a license from the Police to be able to use it. You will find the batteries won't last very long when using the pointer, my 30mW draws around 200mA from a couple of AAA cells.
I don't know if it will blind you, but placing my hand over the pointer at night the reflected light from my palm is pretty bright! Be very careful where you point it, don't point it at anything reflective that may shine the beam back to you. Especially don't point at other people or objects containing people. Also NEVER give it to a child to "play with" the temptation to look at the beam may be too great and may cause permanent damage to their sight. Mine is mounted to the scope and is only used for alignment or some times for pointing out what we are looking at.
As mentioned previously, if you don't have an "astronomical use" for it, I can't see any other legitimate reason for anyone to own or use one, expecially of this power.
