I hate to say it, but some government regulators might jump all over this when the price decreases.

Let's hope the price doesn't come down.   :)    ;)

I remember another similar product out there that had a ring instead of a watch.

It is an interesting idea, but not for me.

Glad that's not catching.  I'd not like to see that come about in any form.

I bet this will be added to the CA compliance requirements  lol....  ::)

Do you think they (CA) would rather have the watch or the ring?   ;D    ;D

The descriptive word in the first link above, "gizmodo", is perfect.

The next step will probably be some microchip implanted somewhere in the body -- a chip which only the "chosen few" will be able to obtain . . . politicians, the rich and famous, and their body guards, of course.   ::)

Seems like Colt developed on of these during the clinton administration as a demo project for smart gun technology.  The electronics could not survive the recoil of a 9mm pistol (the test gun).

Yep!  I do like the Panerai PAM 108 D AMG Cronograph, 40mm Titanium, Special Edition, Automatic.  Homage to the Mercedes AMG.  Excellent.  It's a keeper.

This is a case where you can't let the bad guy ask any questions!  Shoot first and hope you have the watch or ring activated.  Oh!  And hope either has good batteries.   ;D    ;D

Or could be, like your cell phone,  just talk to your gun.  You now tell your phone to "Call ......."  Tell your gun, "Shoot".  Hut oh!  What if you have to sneeze or cough when you should be saying "shoot".  Oh well, the bugs aren't worked out yet.    :)         :)

Or you would have to stand next to someone who owns the watch... ::)...Hey, you, come here...NOW! :D

But now you have the gun you just talk to, and say, SHOOT!     ;D     ;)

I have a better idea.....how abut a watch that won't keep time unless you have it near your gun?

Or a car that won't drive unless you have a gun inside?

Dino.  I'd still rather talk to the gun!    ;D     :D

     Dino, they catch you talking your gun they'll come and haul you away!      Gene
