Okay at Home?
Hi Cerebrus & All,
As for Class III and IV lasers, if they do include them in Schedule 1 of the Prohibited Weapons Act (as the Premier has announced) it won't make a scrap of difference -- public, private; its possession is an offence under the Act and _potentially_ renders you liable to a 14 year term of imprisonment.
Re: other "low-powered" lasers (ie red-dot type) it will only be a problem in a public place and in the absence of a "reasonable excuse".
No I don't believe (based on the announcement) you will be able to tack it on to your other permit. Firearms are under a completely different Act (Firearms Act) for starters. A permit under the Weapons Prohibition Act is a whole other bucket of fish.
Sorry to bring such bad news, but them's the facts as I understand 'em.
Best,
Les D
