"A new RFID-based safety could help prevent department-issued firearms from being used against police officers. TriggerSmart, a start-up based in Ireland, uses off-the-shelf radio components to identify and authenticate the shooter handling the gun; if the shooter is the wrong person, the gun will not fire."
"The idea for TriggerSmart's design comes from Patrick O'Shaughnessy, who read about a police officer whose issued gun was taken from him and used against him. ..." ... -------
Submitter's Note: Protecting LEOs from their own weapons was the main impetus behind "smart guns" when they were first suggested. Oddly enough, however, every "smart gun" law that I am aware of exempts police. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
