Care for me to prove it? Give me you email address and I will sent a scanned copy of the approval letter in .pdf format.

One of the advantages of having a handgun is that the appropriate display of said handgun is the universally understood hand signal for "Go away!". The display of the palm pistol will not be so well understood. But in certain situations and jurisdictions that could be an advantage too. I’m sort of inclined to be discourage it’s use.

I swear that the irony of that (it's a firearm; therefore, that's what a firearm looks like, at least sometimes...) is totally lost on the legislators, judges and LEOs.

They have done that with other unusual compact weapons. My bet is that the BATFE will classify it as “Any Other Weapon” when it’s time to market it.

(I love pictures!) I even discussed the mechanism that allowed it to work.
