$10,000.00 Gun won't fire if taken from user

[boomerang]

Irrelevant; if the guy just took your gun from you, you're going to be trying really hard to get your hands back on it, so the ugly watch you're wearing on the wrong arm will still be within inches of it.

Good point.

So basically it's a gun designed for kidnappers and rapists. For example, if the kidnapper gets lazy and the victim grabs the gun off the table, like in the movies, the criminal is safe because the victim can't use the gun.

[thankGod]

I wonder if the wireless connectivity would be affected if the gun were to be used near a microwave

You know, that IS an untapped market.......

Thanks for the reminder ... I need a new watch battery.

How many real guns could I buy with $10K?

A much classier watch:

A much more effective gun:

(Including all the goofy optional toys pictured)

Spare clips:

A gun to fight your way to with the above:

Man, that is one butt ugly S&W with all the optics & light on it. How would you carry it, in a backpack?

Spare mags:

Plenty of ammo for both:

And a few donations to various candidates who will make sure you get to keep them.

Most people I heard of that were shot with their own firearms were plugged at close range - so how far does that wireless signal travel?

austinrealtor posed the question: Paranoid?

Don't feel pregnant. Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Definition of "paranoia" - Heightened awareness.

If the watch I'm wearing fails, you might be late. If that watch fails, you will be late.

As in "the late Dragonfighter?"

I think the obvious has been overlooked. The anti gun zealots will make guns unavailable to the public by simply driving the cost of firearms and ammo out of the reach of the average person. This firearm is definitely out of my reach, not that I would buy it anyway.

yep... this is exactly what's in store. There were proposals of "smart guns" being the coming future requirement back in the 90's.... probably even before. I remember everything from voice recognition to fingerprint recognition to what appears to be miniaturized bluetooth communications devices used in the above example. You must keep in mind, this is will be proposed only to "Keep Our Own Kids Safe" (KOOKS)

This is about as important a step in firearms technology as the idiotic firing pin and casing stamp devices.

If you live in a "free state", be prepared to fight this with all you have. I'm not paranoid, but just observing the progression of events of the past 40+ years and logically anticipating the coming events. Unfortunately, I don't think this one will be a laughing matter.

I don't think you are paranoid, I think you are observant of what takes place over time. I too can see the progressive degradation over time. Not just in terms of gun issues, but in every facet of our society. I am glad you are not one of the complacent sheeple that are the norm in this country. The few stand watch and take action for the benefit of all. Too bad more people in this country will not take responsibility for their own freedoms and rights. Sad.

Well it depends on the RIGHTS now doesn't it? It seems like either side will screw up on your rights one way or another, be it guns or wireless warrant taps.

Absolutely. Like Mercutio said, a plague on both their houses.

Although I'm more disgusted about warrantless wiretaps than wireless warrant taps. :biggrinjester:

I heard of a $50 gun that won't fire if taken from the user. It's called a Jennings.
