re: #355 Gus 802
Hmmm.
Nobody questions the laws that make it illegal to point, let alone fire a gun at a person. But then for better or worse those are state laws. A fast google search got nothing on that kind of gun law apart from pointing a gun at a Federal worker.

I can see the validity of the argument for the laser law being federal, as those planes cross all kinds of airspace, so are governed by the Feds. Regulations, safety etc. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to point a gun at an airliner, but just impossible to enforce. Who would ever know?
