Perhaps I am just an unusually smart person. Or especially practical. Or maybe, just maybe, I haven’t hit my head so many times that I routinely need to do stupid things.
But for most of my life, I have tried my best to not put things near my head that would make my mother panic. (I was an incredibly thoughtful child.)
I never, for example, played football. I never did bobsledding that would have me plunge head-first down an icy mountain. I will admit to skiing headfirst into a stonewall in France, but I can assure you that was unintentional.
So when I read that some genius had developed the perfect “concealed weapon” well, I had to scratch my head. And thank my lucky stars that my head was still on my shoulders while I was at it.
You see, this genius developed this gun:

Because what could possibly go wrong with putting a cell phone/gun against your head? Perhaps that way you can answer when God calls and suggests you run for public office.
It sure puts my banana phone to shame! What is that, a 22 gig?

That… cannot be real. But if it is, I suspect that my lifespan has been shortened drastically, because I’m inevitably going to pick up someone’s device and activate it in close proximity to my noggin. And that will be that.
But seriously, why are smart people using their brains to work on this kind of stuff? I mean, Mars awaits… climate change needs some battling… no one’s quite written the perfect novel… all things we could be turning our attention to, but instead? Cell phone gun. CPG. That is all.

Interesting. Probably mostly tough plastic. Glock made a mostly-plastic gun some years ago and it caused a big stir. The barrel would have to be metal, and probably a couple of springs, and the bullet casings of course. Looks like a two-shot. I wonder if the TSA would detect it? They need scanners that look for springs and casings.
Who would want a disguised gun? Spies and terrorists I think.

I can see a market with women who don’t want the big bulge … seriously. And of course, they will have kids … who love cell phones.
This is not a pretty picture.
Oh, and what I read (and didn’t cite, oops) did say it was a two shot.

I recall that there was a concern after 9/11 when I was still in Switzerland that terrorists had cell phones that could shoot bullets. But I don’t know if it was really true.
Sadly, this one is. And I bet it’ll be a big seller.
