Can't wait for the handheld version, 1911 platform. Gotta go do forearm exercises now...:D

That's all well and good until there's an electrical short ... big or small. I'm sure they'll take all the necessary precautions to protect the circuitry but I hope they keep some conventional weapons handy all the same.

Nah, it'll be just as good as Maryland adapting the new "smart gun"...:rolleyes:
