2.65 million people are reported to use a firearm each year in self-defense. Perhaps 2,650 actually shoot. How many of them, using a device which prevents the firearm's use if forgotten, will die by their attacker should they fail to remember the device is in the gun? Again, this is a device to be remembered whose purpose is to prevent an accident from failing to remember something else. Not very smart.

If one can remember to keep loaded firearms away from children, they do not need to remember to remove your device later when they need to shoot.

smartypants time: Why don't we just train cops better so that many people won't get killed by them each year?

I think your device is very creative, and has a place in the array of safety devices a person might select from.

You wouldn't catch me dead owning one -- my safety device is my noggin -- but I see utterly nothing wrong with your invention, for other people. And I wish you much success in your endeavor.

Much of the time, accidents are caused by stupid actions on the part of a gun owner or holder. One case in point is the hunter who extended the butt of his shotgun to help a friend up a steep incline. The friend grabs, accidentally grabbing the trigger. The helper, holding the barrell end, received a fatal wound from the loaded weapon.

Don't get me wrong - your product may have a place where the weapon isn't used for self defense. But any time a weapon is intended for instantaneous use (as in self defense), I don't believe your product is a "good fit".

For my own part, I would not use it.
