Abstract: An automatic gun safety device is provided which consists of a mechanism for transmitting radio signals. Another mechanism is built into a firearm for receiving the radio signals. A solenoid is electrically connected to the receiving mechanism and is normally in engagement with a trigger of the firearm, so that the firearm can only be fired, when the transmitting mechanism is within range of the receiving mechanism and a properly coded signal is being received by the receiving mechanism. The receiving mechanism which is housed within the fire arm will activate the solenoid to disengage with the trigger of the firearm, allowing the trigger to be depressed to fire the firearm.
