Why be worried about becoming too reliant on them?

Well, if one were so inclined they may start thinking "hey, this laser thing is cool...I dont even really need to aim (in the traditional sense)" and thus, neglect to develop any real "core" shooting skills which, lets face it, would be far more useful in the long run.

I mean, I would love to have a chauffeur in order to make getting around town a bit easier, but Id prefer to learn how to drive well first. ;)

Regardless, lasers are useful I will admit...I have absolutely nothing against their use. I guess I just dont want to feel as if I am dependent upon such a device in order to be able to effectively defend myself, my family or my home.
