Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha, gasp, snort!!!!!!

What happens when grandpa confuses it for his COPD inhaler? No more trouble breathing.

Palm pistols are not all that new...

And last time I looked, the antiques like that are classed as curios, but IIRC any new ones might qualify as NFA items.

Maybe so, but getting your medical insurance to cover the cost of the weapon certainly is new.

Excellent point. It should be an NFA item.

Here's ATF's ruling on it.

"...getting your medical insurance to cover the cost of the weapon..."

Sure is. But I won't hold my breath waiting for any insurance company to cover it. Having a dr write out a prescription and having your insurance company approve it are two different things...

Update: The FDA has declared the “Palm Pistol” unable to be classified as a medical device. No more claiming it on your insurance.
