A Minnesota company called Ideal Conceal is releasing a handgun "ingeniously designed to resemble a smartphone." The .380 caliber folding pistol can fire two bullets but remain "virtually undetectable because it hides in plain sight," the company says. The National Association of Police Organizations expressed concern over "any kind of weapon that's designed so that it's not apparent that it's a weapon."
