IIRC, the folks a NJIT are working on a technology that senses the supposedly unique grip of each persons hand. It doesn't recognize fingerprints.

That's problematic from a few examples:
1. It assumes very little variation holding the weapon each time it's fired.
2. It assumes that there's no difference from being at the range and being in a self-defense situation when the adrenaline is flowing.
3. In the latter situation, what happen's when a right handed person has to shoot left handed or the reverse.
4. Does the impression of the grip change when firing a handgun single handed versus supported single hand?
5. What if someone's hand is bandaged or wearing gloves?

IIRC, I posted the story not long ago. I'll try to find it.

Exactly. All excellent points.

So does that mean once we have smart guns, we will be allowed to conceal carry in NJ? I doubt it. If this were a compromise to allow concealed carry, that would be one thing. But this smart gun BS is a limit on any gun sold in the state. As is, I refuse to buy handguns in NJ. Why? You need to obtain a permit to BUY. That requires fingerprinting and a 3-6 month processing time. Then the permit is good for 30 days. If you want to buy a new gun, back to refingerprinting and another 3-6 month processing. Screw that, I'll drive to Scranton and buy one.
