Abstract: A firearm safety system that is operable to inhibit the discharge of a firearm unless the user of the firearm is wearing a mechanical engagement member. The firearm safety system includes a button biasly mounted within the grip of the firearm. The button is movable intermediate a first position and a second position. Operably coupled to the button is a coupling means that is configured to operably couple the button to a sear lever of a firearm. The coupling means includes alternate configurations including cables or shafts that are configured to be movable upon depression of the button. The button is moved by a mechanical engagement member. The mechanical engagement member is a metal ring worn on the finger of the hand engaged with the grip of the firearm. As the mechanical engagement member depresses the button, the sear lever is moved so as to permit discharge of the firearm.
