I've just learned about these, I've gotta have one.
It was hurricane Katrina that got me thinking about a carbine, if I had to defend my house I could, I have the rifles for that, but if I had to leave, and walk the family a long distance to safety, Katrina showed that I couldn't carry an AK47 through the streets.
The problem is that I didn't really like the different carbines I've shot (CAR among them) for different reasons, too long, too heavy, too costly.
Enter the Sub-2000, it folds in half, to 16" long, cost less than $300, and comes in different models that fit magazines from popular pistols, how cool is that?
Straight from Kel-Tec:
The SUB-2000 is available in the following versions only:
9mm : Glock 17, Glock 19, S&W 59, Beretta 92, SIG 226
.40 Cal : Glock 22, S&W 4006, Beretta 96, SIG 226

I've been meaning to pick up a Glock, I've shot a few of them, I'd prefer a .40 (Kel-Tec doesn't do a .45 version), but I think the lower cost of 9mm ammo will dictate that I get a Model 17.
With a stack of magazines (including the 19 and 33 rounders) for both guns, a guy could carry a lot of firepower in a daypack, without freaking out the natives like an AK would.
A guy could use the carbine to engage hostile targets (soda cans) out to 100 yards, and use the pistol for use close confrontations (with more soda cans, perhaps seeking revenge).
A guy could get both guns, and ten mags, for about $1000.
