This new smart gun technology is truly a step in the right direction…..HOWEVER this new technology is not reliable enough for me to feel safe protecting my family. What about if I'm not home and my wife needs to use the gun? What about if the batteries in the watch or gun dies? Would I have to sleep in the watch so that if someone broke into my home at night I could just grab my gun and use it? What about my existing firearms, will those be illegal since they dont have the smart gun technology? What if I buy a gun from someone else, will I now have to wear a different watch for each of my different guns? To many questions, not nearly enough reliable answers.
I don't know, Peyton. I just can't seem to feel even slightly positive about this. In addition to everything you mentioned, I don't like the idea of an electronic signal deciding if my gun will work. Electronics can be interfered with… One electromagnetic pulse and you are totally disarmed.
Gun Videos: I completely agree with you. I look at this technology and see a something (far in the future) that could help prevent a child from firing the gun or your gun being taken away and used on you. Because no matter how careful we are a responcible gun owner that will use a gun to protect their family normally has a pistol in a night stand or some where close to where they sleep. And as all parents will tell you, kids get into the weirdest things and no parents can garrentee complete safety 100% of the time. Also we are not all Bruce Lee or Chuck Noris..lol Their are people out there that can suprise us, beat us, or over power us. So you see thats the only way I can say its a step in the right direction but its is not reliable enough for me to ever have it on any of my guns. And also for the same reasons you just mentioned.
I have a bio safe and it has it's pro and cons . It's not fast enough . If you place a finger wrong BAM . Recycle and try again . Mind you , I like it and certain family members are coded to it , plus two outside non-family members . There's a reason for that . It has a fail safe , in that if the battery is died , then you replace and your back up to speed . Now ! Children ! Have three Grandkids living with us and the oldest at the time was 9 years old " now 12 " tried to get into the safe . Well , he tried to many times and it gave an alarm and the battery died . I purchase my safe in the late 2008 . The technology may have gotten better ? but for a gun / firearm I don't believe so . As Mr. Peyton Rice stated : It's our responsibility to teach our children / grandkids gun safety . Plus , I also have firearms in certain places that are I hope well hidden , but easy access .
