NOTE: MODs, if there is a better forum sport for this, please move,I could not decide what fit bests, so plopped it here.

And here you thought "empty chamber carry" was a thing only confused and inexperienced shooters considered a smart move..
I give you, the Safety Bullet. http://safetybullet.com

I was searching for something unrelated to this topic, and happened across this websites ad..
This salesmen is "selling" training and education is not the answer, only his "Safety" bullet and the required technique to use it of "Rack your gun twice. You have ejected the Safety Bullet and loaded a lethal round. Your gun is ready in an instant!" is the only common sense way to store a firearm.
And for only $25 you can get a expanding "bullet" that plugs the barrel after the trigger is pulled,rendering the gun "safe"
And his marketing WORKS...people buy this thing....

How does this work in a revolver???

I guess you just load one in each chamber, pull the trigger six times, and then load real bullets, that won't be a problem in a self defense scenario, will it?

Go from SAFE to LETHAL in one second! Nothing is faster, period!

Since nothing is faster, that is my choice... nothing (at least as far as this "product" is concerned).

If you watch the animation at the top of their page, it shows how it works in a revolver.

Yeah I didn't watch the video,before posting, but it all makes perfect sense now, just keep that rod in your pocket, disable your gun, push the rod into the barrel, and then you are ready to use it to defend yourself. Makes perfect sense to me.

I don't want to imagine, where I would have to keep the plunger rod, at night, when I'm just in my underwear.

What happen, if a child, pulls the trigger on your gun unbeknownst to you, and you attempt to fire it, by racking the slide, and it is locked up? Then you and your whole family are killed by a lunatic, while you look around for your special, "rod" ?

Here's a crazy idea, what if people just keep their guns away from small children? Do you think that would work?

I looked at the web site and initially thought it was a joke. But it stopped being funny when he implies that you can leave a gun with live ammo sitting out where kids can get at it.

Here are your choices.....

Would you rather, go find a key to remove a lock, then load your gun.

Would you rather, try and remember the combination to a lock, get the lock off the gun, then load it.

With Bio metrics, if your hands are sweaty or bloody it might not read your finger prints. If the battery is dead your back to finding the key.

Or....

Rack your gun twice. You have ejected the Safety Bullet and loaded a lethal round. Your gun is ready in an instant!

Personally, I am not going to place the lives of my kids or their friends on a hope that they won't rack the slide a couple times and then pull the trigger. That is something that my kids have seen me do a ton of times as I function check a gun after cleaning it.

On the other hand, maybe this is the answer for everyone who is afraid to open carry because a BG might grab their gun. Just load your primary with nothing but safety bullets and then conceal a BUG that has real ammo.

Keep my guns always loaded, Most of them in a locked closet that is pretty accessible. My EDC on my desk. We have no regular child visitors. I have occassionally thought about keeping a pistol under my pillow, but a deathgrip in my sleep could shorten my REM sleep. It is expencive though. I think I'll pass.

"Safety Bullet"?? Wouldn't a snap cap serve the same function in a semi-auto without the need to poke a rod down the barrel to clear it if you forgot you had a "safety bullet" loaded in the chamber when the bad guy was about to harm you or your family?

Or just Open Carry an airsoft pistol and back-up carry a real gun.

well no, not really (not that it speaks in support of this idiotic idea)
The concept is, if an unauthorized person squeezes the trigger, the gun is rendered inoperable until the authorized user makes it safe again.
With a snap cap, the unauthorized person, "could" rack the slide, eject the "bullet" that did not go bang and try again.
I admit, my sons were (are) a little more dogmatic than average perhaps, one attempt would not stop them from trying again again. ...so if i was stupid enough to not teach them, educate them, AND leave guns laying around ...a snap cap would work less well then a barrel plugging device actuated with the first trigger squeeze.

Personally I went with the education and training option for both sons, and will do the same for my grandson.....of course his father will have that task as well, and do it as well as would.

I understand the concept, its idiotic and probably dreamed up by a bunch of anti-2A people. If the "inventors" aren't anti-2A, then they are horribly misguided to believe that rendering a gun unable to fire due to a barrel obstruction is a wonderful marketing idea.

What is even scarier is that so many gun ranges and dealers are carrying this crap.
