From Keltec: "MSRP has not been officially been set, but we are looking at the $800.00 range."

That's put it a little over 600 retail around here.

I was thinking buck in one, slug in the other.  No way would I mix non and lethal in the same gun.

For HD, I'd agree....but, for LEO's who have to do riot control, it would be a great tool...esp. if it can handle the Taser SG rounds. It'd be a great tool in the LEO toolbox.....

I was the one who suggesed, half tongue in cheek, but half seriously. It would give them an instant lethal/non-lethal choice. Still, the chance for an "oopsie" under stress would probably have department lawyers throwing themselves in front of trains before it happened. Maybe if they modified a LEO model selector into something close to idiot proof, but even there, I think most deparments would hesitate to green light it, because we all know what wil happen sooner or later. That's all a plantiff's lawyer will need to say.

No agency in thier right mind would do that.  one small mistake and not only will there will be public outrage, the office will also most likly be facing charges.

It gives me actual pain to say this, but TAB is right. only an idiot would mix lethal and non lethal ammo in the same gun.
It's just as brilliant an idea as Russian roulette with the same result .
Oh yeah, FQ claimed credit ?

Anything that fires a high velocity projectile can be lethal.  Remember the girl in Boston killed by the BPD with a paintball gun?

Yes, I do remember that, but it wasn't a "paint ball gun", it was a 12 ga shot gun with a non lethal "bean bag" she was shot in the face with it and they used to have a problem with them not opening up  .

Did anyone ever think they'd get this excited about a shotgun?

For the record, I think it's cool!    Way to go Kel Tec!

Postgame police projectile kills an Emerson student
O'Toole accepts responsibility but condemns acts of 'punks'

By Thomas Farragher and David Abel, Globe Staff  |  October 22, 2004

An Emerson College junior, drawn to Fenway Park to toast the first Red Sox pennant in 18 years, was killed yesterday, shot in the eye by a projectile fired by police seeking to disperse revelers who authorities said threatened to spin out of control.

Victoria Snelgrove, a 21-year-old journalism student from East Bridgewater, was struck by a pepper-spray-filled plastic ball at about 1:30 a.m., some 90 minutes after the Red Sox celebrated on the infield at Yankee Stadium, provoking an estimated 80,000 jubilant and mostly young fans to converge on Kenmore Square.

Police said they intended the pepper-spray balls, propelled by a compressed air system similar to those used in paintball guns, to be "less than lethal.

I can't find it now but back in the late 80's or early 90's there was a case, I thought in Boston, somewhere narby, Police raided some apartment and shot some girl in the face with a bean bag from a shot gun and killed her.
