Sorry, I'm going to patent it.

After I made this thing I stuck it in my pocket and forgot about it when I went to the mall. I pulled it out to sign something at the register before I realized what it was. The clerk had no idea.


So, is this a concealed weapon? Would you cops even think to check it if you pulled it out of my pocket or saw it in my car?

Sounds like a concealed weapon to me but perhaps you could argue that you just picked it up at the mall and were unaware of the fact it was not a real pen?

Cops probably wouldn't think to check it unless they had a real specific reason, if they have a reason to be extremely cautious then they might notice it.

Sounds like a concealed weapon but if they ask and you tell them right away normally they are cool about it.

So what's that for then?

Filing things. Maybe it doubles as a letter opener. But it will become an eardrum poker if someone gets out of line.

I just talked to my buddy from lawschool; he's a patent lawyer. The wheels are in motion.

Interestingly, we both think it should be a fully functional writing instrument.

Who would you sell it to though?

The only people I can imagine using it would be criminals who would just make it themselves...
