Slashdot reports that a company called Palm Pistol has created an easy-to-use pistol that, you guessed it, fits in the palm of your hand. It's perfect for those who have limited use of their hands because of arthritis or related conditions. Not only that, but, as Gizmodo reports, the FDA has listed this gun as a Class I Medical Device. The gun's manufacturer has applied for a classification that would allow physicians to prescribe the device to patients who could then receive reimbursement from Medicare or their own insurance.
