...hmmm...I've got severe arthritis in my paws...I wonder if BC/BS and Medicare would split the cost?

A .9mm medical device? What's next, requiring a concealed carry permit for a vibrator? Then again, um,... never mind. You just know the Obamunists and "His Majesty" Bloomberg will stop this one dead in it's tracks!

The barrel is way too short to be very accurate and the design is hellishly dangerous. I wouldn't care to fire a 9 mm pistol with my fingers that close to the end of the muzzle. Single shot? Why bother?

Only good for suicide. Medical device? Maybe it will be popular in Oregon.

During W.W.II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED !

Admiral Yamamoto who crafted the attack on Pearl Harbor had attended Harvard (1919-1921) and was Naval Attache to the U. S. (1925-28) Most of our Navy was destroyed at Pearl Harbor and our Army had been deprived of funding and was ill prepared to defend the country.

It was reported that when asked why Japan did not follow up the Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion of the U. S. Mainland, his reply was that he had lived in the U.S. and knew that almost all households had guns!

anon,
that is the same reason that China and Russia won't try coming here.

Besides, our home grown commies are destroying us to the point that foreign commies won't want us.

This 'palm gun" design has been around for more than a century. It was offered in .22, .25 and .32 calibers. It's favored use was as a 'sleeve gun'. It was found that while it was handy, a second shot was usually needed, so it went the way of the horse and buggy to be replaced by multi-shot, small caliber, revolvers and semi-automatics.

While I sympathize with older folks with a debilating ailment, such as advanced arthritis, who can't easily operate a normally-configured fire arm, I don't think this gadget is the big answer.

Maybe a mean SOB guard dog?
