Unusual shotgun
Koscielski's Guns and Ammo in Minneapolis, Mn. have come up with a small shotgun. Really small. How small? How about credit card sized - two barrels.
Here is a pic with some more commentary:
bq. A new twist on the idea of concealable weapons, the credit card-sized shotgun, is shown at Koscielski's Guns and Ammo, the only gun shop in Minneapolis. It's a two-shot weapon machined from a block of metal the height and width of a standard credit card, and about a half-inch thick. Each barrel fires seven standard steel BBs. It will retail for $100. Mark Koscielski, owner of Koscielski's Guns and Ammo, and Patrick Teel, who makes the guns in suburban Blaine, gave The Associated Press a preview Tuesday night ahead of a news conference scheduled for Wednesday. They said the guns are meant to be used only for close-range self-defense and wouldn't be effective as offensive weapons.
Koscielski's has a website but it is currently
"under development" and just shows the parking page/portal of the registrar. I don't know that it would stop a crack-addled attacker but it would be a good alternative to tasers or mace.
