Is hunting with a laser attachment legal?

[advantage1one]

Just wondering if anyone has used (or is it legal to use) a laser like CT grips on a handgun for hunting small, medium, or large game animals in CA...didn't see any stipulation either way in the regulations. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks...

I dont think so.. Couple of my buddies go night hunting and they use PEQ's.. But i'm not to sure..

I found this for big game. didnt look for small game, but i'd suggest you look it up.

it is unlawful to use any device or devices which: 1) throw, cast or project an artificial light or electronically alter or intensify a light source for the purpose of visibly enhancing an animal; or 2) throw, cast or project an artificial light or electronically alter or intensify a light source for the purpose of providing a visible point of aim directly on an animal. Devices commonly referred to as "sniperscopes", night vision scopes or binoculars, or those utilizing infra-red, heat sensing or other non-visible spectrum light technology used for the purpose of visibly enhancing an animal or providing a visible point of aim directly on an animal are prohibited and may not be possessed while taking or attempting to take big game. Devices commonly referred to as laser rangefinders, "red-dot" scopes with self-illuminating reticles, and fiberoptic sights with self illuminating sight or pins which do not throw, cast or project a visible light onto an animal are permitted.
