Company Creates Gun That Looks Like a Cellphone (nbcnews.com)

Earthquake Retrofit writes: Sometimes you want to carry your gun in peace, but people keep drawing attention to your piece. This very issue plagued Kirk Kjellberg, the creator of Ideal Conceal, a [.380-caliber pistol] that folds up to look like a smartphone. "A boy spotted me in [a] restaurant and said loudly, 'Mommy, Mommy, that guy's got a gun!' And then pretty much the whole restaurant stared at me," Kjellberg told NBC News. He developed Ideal Conceal to avoid those awkward situations. According to NBC News, "In locked position, the two-shot plastic gun with a metal core can be discreetly slipped into pockets, like a real phone. But 'with one click of the safety it opens and is ready to fire,' Ideal Conceal claims. The Department of Homeland Security has contacted him about the pistol, and he plans on giving them x-rays of it so law enforcement can distinguish it from cellphones during airport screenings. An Ideal Conceal prototype is slated for June, with sales beginning in October. The gun is listed for $395."

Re:Trying to get shot?

Just yesterday there was a news story about a man who was shot by Capital police. He didn't shoot anyone. As far as I know he didn't threaten or try to shoot anyone. He simply had a gun, a right that is guarantee by the second amendment. Sounds to me that if you believe in your right to carry a weapon so that you can defend yourself or your loved ones if the need arises, then you better conceal it or the government will try to kill you.
