As a former police officer I can pretty much guarantee that the officers will fight the use of this technology tooth and nail.

There just isn't enough time during a critical incident to remove this from the firearm. Officers need to be able to remove the firearm from their holster, aim and fire as quickly as possible - forcing them to retrain to remove the firearm, rack the slide, aim and fire will take hundreds of hours of re-training and I'd be willing to bet that officers will still draw and fire, jamming their weapons during a high-stress encounter requiring deadly force. Further, this adds too much time between realization of the threat and firing the weapon - even if you could untrain the instinctive response of drawing and firing.

With respect to private firearms ownership, your invention will do further damage to my civil rights - some moron like my AG in Maryland will think this is a good idea and pass a law making it a felony NOT to have one of these rounds in a loaded firearm. Just more governmental intrusion into my decision on how best to protect my family.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Abundy,

I agree with you if a gun is on your person there is no need for this. You have controll of your weapon and I doubt anyone could get it from you. But if you go home and put your gun down put one in the chamber.

An officer was killed about a month ago by his three year old son. He placed his firearm on the table and his son pulled it from the holster and shot him in the back. He died in surgery.

If I were to see that someone was working on passing a law to require these in all guns I would fight it and have the NRA help me.
