Talk About "Concealed"

A fella from MI has designed a $395 handgun that looks like a smartphone.

The designer is reportedly working on making it a repeater.

I don't need one.
I don't really want one.

But....the mere fact that they are something The Authorities will not want anyone to have makes me want one....

Now that is cool!

However, now that Texas has "open carry" the need for that "smartpistol" would be limited to polite social engagements.

Mmmmm....YMMV, but I don't like it for a couple reasons. (1) Only two shots, and (2) The LEOs are edgy enough these days, now everyone with a cell phone is a potential threat.

"Can you hear me now?"

[williamranks]

Stupid. The LEOs don't have enough to watch for, now every smart phone might be a weapon.

bingo..can use it as an excuse to prevent you communicating or taking video etc

If the designer can make it a functional, reliable repeater he'll become a millionaire and a smart CEO would hire him in a minute. And I'd shake the cob webs and let the moths fly open my wallet and buy one.

This is not a new idea. And like this one it will be an NFA gun most likely a title II AOW

Something law enforcement has been on the watch for, for YEARS.

When I was a LEO NAA had come out with their 5 shot .22 short pistol that would fit in a box of
Marlboro Cigarettes. There have always been things to look out for.

As the author wrote, "I probably won’t spend my money on an Ideal Conceal pistol, but I celebrate their entrance into the market. It’s a good thing for good people, and a bad thing for those human predators who are finding their predatory lifestyle to be an increasing dangerous pursuit."

I applaud it because some 'good guys' need to penetrate the corporate environments, halls of academia, and other "gun-free-zone" killing-fields. Unfortunately the only way many nurses, secretaries, or housekeeping staff in many corporate, hospital, and academic environments never get the 'waiver' that the more elite executives and head honchos get, and often are the ones who have to ride the bus home to their not-good-neighborhood homes.

Sure, the bad-guys may use them, but the bad-guys would get them or make them anyway, or just barge-right-in with their AK's and shoot places up the old-fashioned way.

At least this way maybe sometimes someone can shoot back.
