CALGARY – It may sound like something out of a James Bond movie, but Calgary police say a gun pen seized in a recent drug bust is deadly and worrisome.
Officials confiscated the covert weapon from a home in the city’s southeast on March 5th.
They say the loaded .22-calibre pen gun is the third one they’ve seized since the beginning of 2012.
The weapons are of particular concern to police because they are easy to conceal and disguise, but can be deadly at close range.
