I recall one at ORD when a crew at the hold (UA I think) called "Continental's got no gear!" as a CO 727 approached. The CO (
sans wheels) banged the tail but managed to go around.

Besides isn't most of that approach over the sea?
I think it more likely to a have been a flash reflection than a laser, maybe from the holding UA 744. However, the SFO 28s approach is over water but parallel to the shore along which is a footpath and some public parks, so it's
possible just not likely IMO.
