is this Safety Bullet related to the Safety Dance?

He came up with the idea after a local boy was shot in his elbow while showing off his dad's .357 Magnum.
The safety bullet can be hidden in the gun chamber and ejected quickly if the owner needs to fire a live bullet.
If the safety bullet is fired, it jams the chamber and locks the gun until the shell is removed with a special tool.
The News Herald reports Mr Worley has applied for a patent for his invention.
He says several companies are interested in his design, and one has started making a prototype.
Mr Worley, from Panama City, says he supports the use of guns and understands why people need a loaded gun as protection.
He said: "I think the safety bullet is a step in the right direction. I don't want fame and fortune. This is a simple device that takes safety to the next level."

So, do you often rely on the Simpsons for inspiration?
Better to rely on training than to have to try to extract a dummy round from a weapon in the dead of night.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. He's going to need a 'LLoyds of London' size product liability insurance policy.
I understand you SEALS tend to be pretty reasonable shots. :o)
I don't think the man was doing anything more than the Internet Strut we have all learned to love, but please don't go track him down, rappel down a helicoptor rope, and, using your integrated night vision headgear and thermal-image suppressing BDUs, ice him at 3:00AM with a silenced Sig Sauer P226.
Like you did that other guy.
Relax.
The judge said your record is sealed.
Pardon that pun.
*I* spend a good deal of my money, and about 80 hours a week of my time, working for gun rights. Do you seriously think that I would back a group that didn't DO something?
It sure looks to me like all you're doing is to complain about the GOA, and apparently feel justified in bitching about what people do with their own money. WHAT, exactly, is it that YOU do to further gun rights besides sit in here and badmouth the GOA and pontificate about everybody else? You started it, so I guess now it's your turn.
See, you're depending on a "device," which is always the path the tragedy. Child-proof caps are a "device," the safey on a gun is a "device," and devices can fail. No device -- TRAINING. PARENTING. RESPONSIBILITY. COMMON SENSE. Without those, no device in the world is safe.
"Safety-Bullet: When you're all about the feel and not about the real."
Why do you keep bringing up safes and locks? They're just as ridiculous, from a safety standpoint, as your silly gun-jamming bullet. You don't own handguns, right? You have no idea what you would do if you were attacked, so quit trying to tell people who HAVE been through it what they would/should/could do. It makes you look like an ass.
No, but I did get control of him and hold him for the police. When someone is dragging you by the hair, it's hard to get a bead on them because you can't see them. He believed that I *would* shoot him, which I would have, once I could see him, except that he had stopped and surrendered. Tell me, with your gun-jamming bullet in my gun, HOW would I have ejected it one-handed while being dragged?
When your bullet is responsible for deaths, injuries, rapes, and other tragedies, I hope that your conscience and your insurance company both stay with you.
I know someone who was cleaning a rifle when it went off. That wasn't an accident, it was willful negligence and stupidity. The people who would do that wouldn't bother with your bullet, either.
Yeah, you're a grand guy, huh?
Good evening, 2.5. May suggest this guy may have one customer in mind? The government (any or all levels). They might buy it or pass a law requiring handgun owners to buy it. That is the scary part of these inventions.
To a power grabber, this invention may be a ticket to tyranny.
they don't know how to teach their relatives not to do something stupid.
This is exactly right. People are afraid to 'offend' others by talking straight to them and instructing them.
I have not read the whole thread, but 'Safety-Inventor' here isn't AlGore in disguise is he? I wonder if this guy voted for klintoon?
It was confrontational and it was meant to be. Perhaps not to you personally but what I want is answers to why the GOA members are systematically complaining about what the NRA does or does not do without explaining what they themselves do. I have asked ten people. That means that I have read more than ten GOA members complaining about the NRA.
This happens about once or twice a month on this board where I have posted my question to the GOA members. This has never happened with SAS, SAF, or Citizen's Committee members. It's only with the GOA. I want to know why the GOA is openly causing division between the two groups.
Keepandbeararms.com is one website that bashes the NRA and they have a link to the GOA. I'm wondering if this started at that web site.
I'm going to repeat myself when I say that this behavior should stop for the good of the groups.
The next time someone starts the same old BS about the NRA, I'll ping you.
It's so cute how you ask a question, then answer it with what you want to hear.
Yes, children who are trained to shoot DO listen to you. If you are talking about 1-4 year old children, keeping the gun out of their reach is a real good idea, and not that difficult. My children both learned about the gun before they were 5, and learned to shoot it at 5, as did I and my siblings. At 5 years old, my father was often bringing home meat for dinner, and it was often all they had to eat while my grandfather was out installing electric lines all over the midwest.
Why do you suppose that enough children survived the early times in American for us to be here now? With guns hanging over fireplaces, then later available at Sears, the hardware store, and my (other) grandaddy's drugstore, why do you suppose there wasn't blood running in the streets? Lots of people had a rifle in the trunk, at school. No gun locks, very few gun safes, no silly gun-jamming bullets ... and gee whiz, Batman, we survived it.
Now, YOU 'splain that, Lucy, or get on MY side.
