The latest of renditions were designed and being promoted due to the bemoaning of the left. If this hare brained idea takes hold will the next plan be everything else becomes outlawed?
Marketing it as a safety feature is just palaver. I don’t think biometrics for weapons is any better than biometric safe boxes and locks. What’s wrong with the old lock and key? What’s wrong with higher level lll retention holster?
Yeah, maybe easy to operate - if conditions are right. Ever try to dial a cellphone with wet finger…even more difficult with a screen protector on it, not likely doable with gloves too.
Stuff gets lost, gets stolen, gets hacked or overridden. This idea might be safe from the wrong hands but even in the right hands it can present its own gremlins.
Stupid idea/Smart whatever….it’s electronics, diodes, transistors, resistors, capacitors and a battery - they all fail without warning. Just yesterday my cordless smart-charge Dremel tool just abruptly petered out. Used it one minute, completely dead the next. Pulled it apart, tested what I could and found Battery and motor ok, but something in the circuitry went bad, no simple on/off switch too much and too tiny parts to figure where the problem is. Two year warranty expired last year.
But..if any LE Agency goes along with this contraption it will be CA,NY, IL. They put limits on handgun and ammo choices, big city agencies are on the brink of collapse all due to continuing every convoluted which way to “re-imagine” 21st century policing.
