Cell Phone Gun Just Arrived

What is it? A dinky little .22 round? And the barrel can't be more than 2" long? Just what you need if you suddenly find yourself in a shootout in a crowded elevator I guess, but with what looks like some really piss poor ergonomics and that very short barrel I'm thinking that you'd need to virtually press it against someone to be able to hit them.

What is so funny here is all the posts saying how deadly this is. If I too were to hypothetically hijack a plane I too might follow the prescribed tactics of an earlier post. With a small not so well trained five man squad, a take down and hijack of a basic airliner is a no brainer. People really need to get a grip on life. Those with a tactical bent will almost always overcome a lesser trained bored group of people that do the same thing day in and day out. Boredom brings about complacency which brings about death. And yes for those that do, it isn't that hard to carry on board, in govt buildings etc for the same reasons above.

I could never understand, in the 'good old days' before 911, when terrorists just used to blow up planes, why didn't they just stand at the end of a runway outside the airport ground, with a surplus stinger or something?

In the majority of states (36) it's entirely legal, in my own state (Arizona) it's actively encouraged

I'm sure if new laws would pass, the criminals eyes would tear up, and they would throw down their weapons and turn themselves in to the nearest peace officer.


Wake up buddy.

Also, no... it's not illegal to conceal a weapon. There are a couple states that have the right completely denied like Wisconsin, and California, New York and New Jersey are what is called "may issue states" meaning its basically impossible unless you make a massive campaign contribution to your local politician but everywhere else any law abiding citizen can apply for a CCW permit and assuming they pass the background check and fill out the forms properly, they can conceal carry a handgun. Millions of people do this and believe it or not, the guns do not have minds of their own, nor do they go off at random, slaughtering the nearest pack of nuns.

Today, millions of law abiding Americans who carry a firearm didn't brandish their weapons at anyone, and they killed no one.

Whatever idiot designed that gun...

Should be jailed for all the curious kids who will shoot themselves.

Only in America eh?

I think possibly in Switzerland, too... but I'm not entirely sure.

I don't think any kids will be shooting themselves with this thing. They aren't exactly sitting around on the shelves at gun stores. If a curious kid falls out of a tree and breaks his neck, should the person who planted the tree be held responsible?

This is a state to state issue. Some states allow people to obtain permits to conceal weapons. I have one for the state that I live in.

How about the iGun:

WARNING: some foul language, but fun nonetheless.

Enjoy!

Future defense for murder:

Your honor, I saw the person pull out his cell phone and in order to defend myself I had to kill them.

Case dismissed.

Shooting someone with a .22LR is a dangeorus proposition, they could become enraged and do you serious harm.

Seriously, REAL cell phones have killed more people than this thing ever will.
