On Prescription: Only in America...

You're going to have to be pretty accurate with a single-shot weapon or at least let the person get up real close and personal to reduce the chance of missing and possible inability to reload easily. I'm less than convinced that it counts as medical equipment though, it seems to be taking a very loose definition of what I'd class as medical equipment i.e. that which is necessary for someones health (and before someone jumps in, I'm not counting the outside risk of a physical assault as a likely impediment to health).

Interesting idea even if it does look rather like an ergonomic corkscrew.
 
/Sits here awaiting for "Class 1 Medical Device" AK47 and rocket launchers to appear...............
 
Sounds pretty dodgy with all respect, an elderly on medication or having a turn or whatever could shoot anyway in the room with them. Also what if the grandchildren get hold of it, "Granny you have a toy gun, wooooo," etc...

Would be better off with pepper spray maybe?-

i think it;s pretty much meant to be pressed into the attacker and fired.
 
I fire things off using my palm and wrist all the time.

Big whoop.

Seems like a great idea provided they are being prescribed for the elderly to use on themselves, rather than on other people :p
