FYI: new proposed "safety" device

[Shadow 7D]

Hey manco, shh
logical thinking like that might lead one to conclude that this is a defective Idea...

After all, that's why gunsafes are around, and the state of California would never approve a gimmick like this, I believe that some trigger lock are excluded by them for similar reasons.

WOW, I'm all for inventions etc. but not one like that, guy could get someone killed. Hopefully the ATF shuts him down before something like that happens.

As I posted on another website about this idea: After working with devices that used shear pins, I know two things about them - they will shear when they are not supposed to, and will not shear when they are supposed to. What that means, is this thing may not shear off at all or partially shear, causing your gun to be completely inoperable when you need it, or it may shear off when some kid puts less than 12 pounds of force on it.

Ya know guys, Every time a new gun invention comes out there is always so much negativity. I think y'all are just "playa hatin".

In three seperate incidents already this year a young child that could not break that shear pin has managed to breach the outer security perimeter of my fortress of a home. 1 did drown in the moat after I figured the draw bridge would be more effective if I raised it, but I digress. All three were in the process of cracking my safe when backup arrived and were successfully stopped by overwhelming force. I fear the next time a pair might just haul off my safe.

While I hate to see tragic events happen, Kneejerk reactions are not generally the best solutions. This guy seems to be clearly motivated by profit more than anything. The gun world will always have fearmongers with a sales pitch. I do realize that the product is being sold to pevent accidental firing of the weapon. I don't see it being used by anyone that would actually use the weapon to practice with. Which actually brings up a whole nother set of dicussion topics. It is much like the draw bridge in that it is a pain to raise & lower. So it ends up being left down. The same people that won't properly secure fire arms will not replace that shear pin. Which I think should not be there in the first place.

was it the hostess delivery guy or an ice cream truck?

What an ignorant idea. Oh well. If a gun came with it, pull the trigger once, clean it, and its like it never had it. So mandating it would only make guns safer for people who never practiced or function tested.

I take it the inventor's name is not Einstein?

I don't know if I'm the only one to remember this but here it is. I'll take responsible gun ownership over this POS idea.

I've seen gun safety gadgets come and go over the years. Every one of them promoted by the inventor or manufacturer as the final, simple answer to putting and end to accidental shootings. In almost every case the product is a huge financial failure because gun owners simply don't accept them and buy them.

Gun safety gadgets are a risky line of business that almost always end in financial ruin for those who invent and sell them.

Fact is, this is a single-use product and is therefore useless for someone who shoots regularly. The only "use" for one of these would be in areas where firearm use is heavily restricted and police would want to know if the weapon had been fired. Essentially somewhere where ownership is practically criminal in the first place, and use is almost not allowed. Its only purpose, therefore, is to criminalize gun owners by making anyone with a broken safety pin a suspect.
