Yes, there can be a very limited number of SD scenarios that a laser could be an advantage. The biggest problem is with all the advertising hype, and Hollywood depections, there are new shooters who think that a laser is a replacement for what they are being influenced to believe are the "out dated" open sights on a handgun. After all, doesn't everyone know that just seeing a dancing dot on his chest any attacker will instantly surrender?
Use the laser as a traininv aid to help with trigger control as mentioned in several posts. Use it for dry fire point and shoot practice. Keep it on the gun just in case, but never regard it as a replacement for the sights, and practoce.
Heck, I've been seriously thinking about adding a CT Laserguard to my Remington R51 just because it's design looks like it should have one on it.
