Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! The following is from customer service at Wicked Lasers. It was sent to me after a failed attempt at using their live chat on Saturday. But apparently they still got my question and sent this response: Dear Mike, Laws and restrictions on portable lasers vary...

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! First, happy father's day to all the dads out there. Next, take a look at this portion of the FDA regulation on hand held lasers: ================================================= Can battery-operated, portable laser systems be sold in the U.S? Yes...

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Do the safety features on Nova's Alpha series make them anymore legal than the x series? If not it looks like I'm going to consider going back to laserglow.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Hey SenKat, do you live anywhere near Tyler, TX?

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! I knew that SenKat. Anyone else?

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Who else here is from the U.S.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Great, now I HAVE to get one just so I can post pics.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Hey I just hit 20 posts. Does that mean I can start posting links now.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Surely somebody way up in the chain knows these things are coming in.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Very creative.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! I'm not sure why i'm unhappy. I guess because i've put all this time into something that is such a gray area.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! The dude at DL told me they declare them as regular pens...yet they don't write.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Yes, I read it. But I'm just not sure I want to take the risk.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! I just spent two weeks shopping for one of these things. I guess it's my own fault for not realizing they may be illegal in the U.S. I'm not a happy camper.

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! I just had a nice chat with a DL rep. He told me they flat out lie to the government when declaring these things as they come into the U.S. Doesn't the buyer face some trouble if the item happens to get seized?

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Ok, so I'm confused again. I guess I need to do more research. I'm pretty sure the models I've been looking at do not have a three second delay. As for a cap, I have no idea. So would the x45 be considererd illegal to purchase in the U.S.?

Re: HELD AT CUSTOMS !!!  ARRRGH ! Are you saying it's illegal to own a Nova laser in the U.S.?

Actually it's more about which company wants me as a customer and what they're willing to do to win me over. It's after 5pm now so I guess I won't find out who wants me more until next week.

Oh great, now I'm going to have to reconsider this whole thing.  I was so close to buying from NOVA today.  But now I'm not so sure. I know, I know...SenKat's thinking "Jeez, hurry up and make a decision already."

Ok, I've been doing more thinking. I know I said the other day that folks were trying to prevent me from falling into the ebay laser pointer trap. But the more I thought about it...of course folks at laserglow, dragonlasers and the others are going to say it's a ripoff. But what do you expect...
