Abstract: A safety system and method for remotely activating and/or deactivating firearm(s). In certain embodiments, at least one processor or chip may be provided in the firearm. In order to remotely activate a firearm and allow it to be discharged, a controller (located remotely from the firearm) causes an activation signal to be sent to a satellite. The satellite redirects the activation signal toward a particular geographical area. When the firearm to be activated is in that geographical area, it receives the activation signal from the satellite. Upon determining that a match is found between a code in the received activation signal and a predetermined activation code stored in a memory of the firearm, the processor in the firearm causes a trigger lock in the firearm to open thereby enabling the firearm to be discharged whenever a user should decide to load the weapon and pull the trigger.

Abstract: A firearm safety enhancement system is provided for enabling use of a firearm only by an authorized individual. At least one electrically activated preventer is provided having a first position for preventing use of firearm and having a second position for enabling use of the firearm. An electrical activation circuit is operatively connected to the preventer to move the preventer between the first and second positions. A portable power supply is carried in said firearm and is coupled to the activation circuit for providing power. A power signal transmitter is operatively connected to the power supply for transmitting an electromagnetic power signal at a regular frequency. A passive identification tag is mounted to a personal adornment to be carried or worn by an individual and is preprogrammed with an authorized identification code preselected from a large number of available identification codes.

Abstract: A Quick-release Gun Lock is disclosed. The gun lock comprises a base that cooperates with the gun's extractor, a pliable and expandable portion attached to the base for expanding to create an interference fit with the gun's bore, and a compression shaft that, when rotated, will force the expandable portion outwardly to create the interference fit. The device may further include a cam hub that interacts with the compression shaft to provide the desired interference fit with less than one rotation.

Abstract: A removable trigger lock having a unitary housing that includes a first guard member and a second guard member permanently connected by a linking member having a fixedly sized gap therebetween for fitting the housing around the trigger lock section of a gun. The removable trigger lock has a lock member integrally and slidably coupled to the housing. The lock member has a open position such that it is not within the gap and an open position such that it is at least partially within the gap. The lock member has a shaft with a latching section for locking the shaft. The trigger lock includes a lock attached to the housing for locking the lock member into the second position. The locking mechanism is a combination lock.

Abstract: A safety device including a locking member which is inserted and locked within the barrel and firing chamber of a firearm to prevent firing of the same is provided. The locking member preferably includes a rod having a leading or first end which is at least partially insertable within the firing chamber of the weapon, and an outer sleeve including a trailing or second end which is expandable in a first direction to produce a tight frictional engagement between the sleeve and the inner wall of the barrel in order to secure the locking member within the firearm. The rod is at least partially insertable within a cavity in a first end of the sleeve such that the overall length of the locking member is adjustable to fit different weapons, for example a revolver and an automatic pistol.

Abstract: A gun safety system for use with a gun having a barrel, a handle and a safety latch structured for movement from a first disabled position wherein the firing mechanism is inoperable to a second enabled position wherein the firing mechanism operable, comprising a substantially flat main housing attached to the gun handle over the safety latch and having voice and finger print sensing and verification circuitry and means for blocking access to the gun safety latch. The voice and finger print sensing and verification circuitry includes a sensing integrated circuit, having a finger print image surface matrix and a microphone sound sensor, and an authentication integrated circuit electrically interconnected to the sensing integrated circuit, structured to compare the gun user's voice pattern and finger print image to those stored in memory.

Abstract: A lockable firearm safety is incorporated into the bolt mechanism of a safety bolt to selectively block the forward motion of the hammer by either of two means: (a) preventing the trigger from moving rearward which movement would release the hammer permitting it to move forward and strike the firing pin; (b) by directly blocking the hammer from moving forward to strike the firing pin. When the safety bolt is placed in the safety position, the bolt may be locked in the safety position by means of a key. The firearm cannot be discharged until the safety bolt is unlocked and is moved to the fire position. The key is retained by the bolt unless the safety bolt is in the safety locked position.

Abstract: The present invention is a safety device that prevents a weapon from being fired. The invention consists of a hollow cylindrical block and an ejector. The hollow cylindrical block is manually placed in a weapon's firing chamber thus preventing the engaging of a live shell. The chamber block is removed from the firing chamber of a weapon by manually inserting the ejector into and through the firearm chamber block allowing the ejector to engage the backside of the chamber block skirt. There is a raised rim on the ejector cap that allows the weapon's bolt to engage and extract the ejector and firearm safety apparatus as one unit.
