I was going to reflect on how a gun that resembled an iphone might affect this conversation. I did a quick search and saw that they are easily available. So now as a Police Officer when someone takes a phone out of there pocket you have to immediately assess the risk. Am I going to be shot or recorded? Being in law enforcement is getting more dangerous by the day. Damn.
- carbadtraingood 4y agoThis is a laughable concern. There's no reason to think there will be a rash of guns-shaped-like-iphones being a thing. Being a cop is less dangerous than, for instance, being a pizza delivery driver.
- jrajav 4y agoIt is more dangerous to be a landscaper, a fisherman, or a truck driver in America, than to be a police officer. Not a joke. Being a police officer is one of the safer professions you can do outdoors or on the road. The risk of the job is absolutely normal and zero excuse for any concessions of accountability.

- RajT88 4y agoHow many times have these covert phone-guns been used in crimes? They are unlikely to be much use for that. Self defense or covert assassination, neither are at all common gun violence. Arguably a poor tool for much else. QED most of these phone-gun owners are likely living in some fantasy world. See: "Sword Guys" archetype.
