Rottenray having worked with lasers since 1978 I think I have maybe a smidge of experience. Yes by all means if you need a laser more powerful than 5mW for work etc, fine but why not licence or register them to the buyer?
to own something non-lethal and mostly harmless
345mW is definitely NOT harmless no matter what you use it for. To use the word harmless and 345mW in the same breath, shows that you have a very glib and complete non understanding of laser safety.
