Hey guys,
What do you think of this? i’m not sure I understand when I’d need such a thing and would worry that I couldn’t “unlock” when needed.

Dumber than F. Have you ever opted for the hotel room key in your cell phone, and found that it took three minutes or longer to unlock your door?
One state used to have a law that once such a “smart gun” became available, only those could be sold in the state. If I recall correctly, that law was repealed. but it could be passed again.

That 100% sounds like California. They are the ones who decided microstamping was a thing so all the new handguns had to have microstamping to make the roster even though zero guns have it

Yes, it is New Jersey, and I believe it is still law. I didn’t research that. Why would they repeal it?

Somebody saw “low battery” warning on his smart gun…

No, it was not the gun that was displaying the “low battery” message, it was the politician that presented that bill and the rest of them that voted for it and signed it into law.

Sounds like another electronic gimmick that would fail when you really need it to work. I think of how often my facial recognition or fingerprint scanned fails to respond on my computer, or how often my smartphone loses connectivity. Not something I’d incorporate with a firearm.

California, of course.
I would be more worried about who controlled the software. Is it EMP proof? What if you phone battery is dead? Etc. Attempts at “Smart Gun” technology go back at lease 30-40 years. The early attempts had the shooter wearing a magnetically code ring which activated the unlock mechanism in the firearm. It was an abject failure, failing to work properly more than 75% of the time.

The only use I could think of is if you left a firearm home or in the car, and didn’t want kids/bad-guys to be able to use it. Perhaps during the flight if you were flying?
