Brendan, you can get them from Karrynup shopping centre. There is a shop near Myers that sells them but you have to ask the guy as he does not have them on display. There are no laws in WA relating to lasers. They have been re-classified as a class 2 weapon so if you are caught pointing them at another person or aircraft you will be charged the same as if it were a gun (got this straight from WA police firearms). Reponsible use is ok and you do not need any permits etc.
