Is an e-reader case as dangerous as a Glock 19? <\/p>\n

Last month, Louisville, Kentucky-based creator Luke The Maker<\/a> showed off a bizarre, 3D-printed, pistol-shaped case design<\/a> for the popular minimalist Xteink X4 e-reader<\/a>. The X4 lies vertically atop the plastic gun’s slide, with a cutout on the side to access its buttons. Though the frame was digitally modeled after a real gun, this \u00ab\u00a0case\u00a0\u00bb can’t shoot bullets. Squeezing the trigger does nothing at all. He calls his contraption the \u00ab\u00a0Gundle<\/a>.\u00a0\u00bb <\/p>\n

In a post<\/a> showing off the wacky accessory, Luke (whose last name is Blackford) can be seen flipping through Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian <\/em>and J.D. Sali \u2026<\/p>\n
