I think you underestimate peoples prejudice vrs what expert witnesses say. I have not done extensive research on the subject. I have been involved in an arrest on a gun related case and "murdering gun nut" was a quote from a jury member. Its anecdotal evidence yes but the gun was never even fired it was a felon with a weapon possession.
Obviously he was screwed either way as he was a felon and the gun was found in his vehicle.
It would be impossible to prove that the conviction was swung by the presence of a laser but its also impossible to prove that it was not what swung the Jury. I suggest you read some studies on jury psychology. Personally I would not risk it as the perception is quite negative and is completely unnecessary as a defensive tool.
