.38 Caliber Smartphones

File this under really bad ideas.

New smartphone-shaped handgun is the ultimate 'concealed carry' weapon

Quote:

A Minnesota startup is making headlines today for its novel solution to the age-old problem of "children being frightened by strangers with guns." Behold, the double-barrel .380-calibre handgun by Ideal Conceal: a gun designed to look exactly like a smartphone, complete with fake camera lens and headphone jack. "In today's day and age, carrying a concealed pistol has become a necessity," reads the company's website. "But what if you didn't have to conceal?" "Smartphones are EVERYWHERE, so your new pistol will easily blend in with today's environment," the site further explains. "From soccer moms to professionals of every type, this gun allows you the option of not being a victim."
