MINNEAPOLIS -- A new weapon coming on the market is not exactly the stuff of James Bond, but it's close.

A Minnesota gun maker has a new twist on the idea of concealable weapons: a credit-card shotgun.

The shotgun almost fits in your wallet.

The double-barrel firearm is made from a piece of metal about the size of a credit card -- and about half-an-inch thick with each barrel firing seven standard steel BB's. It retails for $100.

The Minneapolis manufacturer said the guns are for close-range self-defense.

They need a fair amount of time for loading. The user has to measure out gunpowder, pour it in each barrel, drop seven steel BBs in each barrel and tamp in a small wad of paper.

The gunmaker said it gives the owner a chance to flee an attacker. Skeptics said it would be useless in a crisis.

Gives whole new meaning to being overcharged on your credit card!

I hope the things has a proper safety or the induhviduals will experience a whole new meaning to having a 'credit card' burn a hole in one's pocket!!!

OUCH! I wonder how many lost fingers, lost members and holey legs will be experienced before the lawyers pull these from the market!

You'd think that, but I have a feeling you'd hear the term
"I shot the wad" a bit more often then

Hopefully they are checking to make sure that the buyers have the proper handgun permit and have passed a safety test with the firearm they are about to purchase.... oh wait... that's just in Commifornia.
