A quick search on YouTube soon reveals the damage that a laser can inflict upon a camera's CMOS sensor.
I would imagine there is greater risk, when either shooting video, or when using a compact camera, or live view, in which case the shutter is always open.
Damage manifests itself either in the form of horizontal lines, or dead pixels, and will be expensive to repair.
Any harm caused by a laser is very unlikely to be covered by the camera guarantee.
You can still capture laser shows, so long as the beam source cannot enter the lens directly.
