  • Patent number: 6283034
    Abstract: A firearms safety device in the form of remotely armed ammunition includes a firearms cartridge for use in a use with a conventional firearm having a trigger-actuated hammer with a firing pin. The cartridge includes a firing circuit that is operatively associated with a primer for igniting a conventional propellant charge. A firing sequence is initiated by the impact of the firing pin with the base of the cartridge. An arming circuit allows the firing sequence to proceed to ignition of the propellant only if a receiver within the arming circuit receives an appropriate arming signal transmitted by a remote control module. In the absence of an appropriate arming signal, the cartridge is permanently disabled.
