Put the Cell Phone down NOW!

Well, this is great. :roll:

It might look like a bulky old-generation square iPhone to most people, police included, but the device in the image above is a weapon. One that actually works, and one that could have people fooled.

The Ideal Conceal, which we told you about last March, is a .380 caliber handgun that’s currently available for preorder. The gun is supposed to “hide in plain sight” and become “virtually undetectable,” according to the Minnesota-based company that makes it.

FWIW, I wouldn't carry one as a 3rd backup if I got it for free. These things look awful and are a dangerous gimmick.

This seems pretty irresponsible. A derringer that looks like a phone? What could go wrong.

It just became much more dangerous to film police activity.

Coincidence, I'm sure.

That weapon should not be legal.

Congratulations to the manufacturer, who just insured that police will start shooting even more innocent black people who happen to be holding a cell phone at the wrong angle.

Zarathud: The sad thing is that Barak Obama is a very intelligent and articulate person, even when you disagree with his views it's clear that he's very thoughtful. I would have loved to see Obama in a real debate.

Also, I assume that a significant number of users (who will hopefully be small in number) will wind up shooting themselves in the leg, quite literally.
