Ballpoint, e.g. (3)

I believe the answer is:

pen

(Other definitions for pen that I've seen before include "International writers's organisation" , "Shut up" , "Confine the writer" , "'The ... is mightier than the sword'" , "Writing implement" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, The Mirror, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the L.A. Times Daily, the LA Times, the Universal and The Washington Post.
