A while back, I heard that some states were trying to make them illegal.

Same old goofy logic (paraphrasing):

"You must be some kind of nut to want to put a laser on your gun. They make the gun look really scary so laser sites must be banned." Ironically, a laser makes the gun safer since accuracy is greatly improved. They are especially nice at night since aiming down iron sights can be a challenge.

The barrel flash will also do bad things to your nightsight. LOL
