Weapon getting attention in company (7)
I believe the answer is:
firearm
'weapon' is the definition.
(firearm is a kind of weapon)
'attention in company' is the wordplay.
'attention' becomes 'ear' (ear is a kind of attention).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'company' becomes 'firm' (I've seen this before).
'ear' inserted within 'firm' is 'FIREARM'.
'getting' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for firearm that I've seen before include "Rod" , "Colt possibly" , "Lethal Weapon" , "Colt perhaps" , "Hand-held weapon" .)
