|  gun control laws I agree that taking guns away from those of us who can handle them responsibly is outrageous. I'll put it simply, the only people who have crack in the U.S. other than the authorities are using it in a harmful way. When you take guns away from those of us doing the right thing, the only ones who have them are the authorities and the criminals. Also Ken there is a gun in production where you have to unlock it with a key as part of a safety issue. The device is on the gun itself not just a trigger guard. I don't remember who makes it but I could find out and give you more details on it. |

Welcome, all the way from Korea, you don't have a mother that runs a website, do you? Luckily, we now have a new Governor that said he will do away with this idiotic law requiring these devices on guns used for self protection. We'll see if he is successful. Locking mechanisms, such as the one you describe, hamper ones ability to rapidly defend themselves should the need arise. What manufacturer is making the "keyed gun"?

| Ken King, I know that Smith & Wesson, as well as Beretta USA are working on a model that requires the wearing of a watch on your shooting hand. This watch has an electromagnetic "signature" that activates the firing circuitry of the applicable handgun. Without this "watch-key," the gun is inert. They went this route so that you wouldn't have to fumble with keys if the situation was desperate. Not sure how it has worked out, but I think S&W might have something on the market already along those lines. |

| Didn't say it was perfect, but it's better than a key set-up. The thing I'd worry about is whether or not the electronics would "fail" at the moment of truth. |

| I'd wire the watch to the gun.  Safety first! |
