I was over at the Asian & Australian Community and saw this posted by my friend Santi. While it isn't exactly knife related, I thought some of you might be interested.

Thats neat and a clever idea. Is there a law against these things in the USA or Canada? In Canada something that looks like a firearm but is not (replica) is illegal in some areas. It would be interesting to see if the reverse (something that is a gun but does not look like a gun) is true. It will have to meet our minimum O/A length, and no bullpup regulations.

By the way deathdancer did you see"

Dear Will,

Thanks, and yes I did see this. However, since I own three 30 inch Kobras, I thought a forth would be just showing off. It was a temptation, though!!

I'm not sure how the US ATF would view this gun. I know that a few areas allow people to own Pen Guns. However, until someone actually owns one in the USA, and the AFT knows about it, this will just be a curiosity for us "legitimate" gun owners.

Guns that don't look like guns are regulated by the "any other weapon" section of the 1934 National Firearms Act. They are also regulated or banned by state laws in some states.

The BATF recently decided to reinterpret that old law to include wallet holsters. Law isn't just made by legislators and judges; bureacrats make laws too....

There is a pen gun on the market that looks like a pen in your pocket and you bend it to an angle at a joint and a trigger pops out and then you can fire it.... The BATF has chosen to rule that not an NFA "any other weapon" giving as their reason "because it can't be brought into action rapidly." There is, of course, no mention in the NFA of guns having to be capable of being brought into action rapidly to qualify; the bureacrats made up that principle all on their own. It shows what they want to accomplish.... A gun that a terrorist can smuggle onto an airplane and take a couple of seconds to turn into an obvious gun and hijack the plane? No problem, we're quite willing to reinterpret the law to allow that ... as long as it can't be brought into action rapidly ... we don't want anyone to be able to defend themselves, after all ... can't have that....
