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 L.A. Times Daily, the Universal, The Star Tribune, The Washington Post, The Mirror, the Penny Press and the LA Times.
