I would like to have one, but if there were problems with it would Apple fix it or would I have to send it to the FBI?

Looks like a silly way to get in a bunch of trouble from many different directions.

It'd still have to be concealed or confined to a holster to be legalOldgringo wrote:Looks like a silly way to get in a bunch of trouble from many different directions.

Like trying to "smuggle" it into a gun free zone.

Let's pick a popular .380, the Ruger LCP. The Ruger is cheaper, higher capacity, and quicker to deploy (no grip that has to be unfolded). The sole advantage of a cellphone gun is that it can be carried openly without it being immediately obvious that it's a gun. But even when the cellphone gun is carried openly, I'm certain it takes a lot longer to use two hands to unfold the grip and get the gun into firing mode than to draw the Ruger from concealment. If you can't conceal a Ruger LCP in any clothing more than a Speedo you're not trying very hard.
In short, this gun has several uses: as a novelty, as an entry in law enforcement guides about disguised firearms, as an object for anti-gunners' handwringing, and as a carry gun for morons.

I hope its successful just to piss off the liberals.
Besides unless you carry with one the chamber this gun isn't any slower to deploy then any other gun.

I don't see the appeal of something like this other than as a pure novelty. With concealed and open carry laws across the country anyone interested in a self-defense weapon can legally choose from many better options. In areas of the country which are not free, one could get in a mountain of trouble carrying something like this. I don't get it, but to each his own.

I don't carry any other way. I can rack the slide pretty quickly, but it does add an extra second to the precious little time I may have, plus it requires the operation of two hands if there is not a hard surface to rack it against, but that adds even more time, so if I have been disabled and unable to use one hand. I would be in a world of hurt, if I didn't have my first round chambered.JMHO
