[ by Charles Cameron<\/strong> — the future of handgun safety? ]
\n.<\/p>\n

Blog-friend James Skylar Gerrond<\/strong> announced today: “Veri-Fire<\/a> will launch Guardian, our biometric trigger guard for handguns on 13 April.”<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/p>\n

Guardian is the revolutionary solution in responsibly securing your handgun against unauthorized or accidental use while maintaining unprecedented readiness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can barely imagine wanting a handgun — I’m one of those — but if I had one, I’d want it fitted with the Veri-fire Guardian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I wrote a while back about AE Van Vogt<\/strong>‘s science fiction work, The Weapon Shops of Isher<\/a>, which introduced the concept of “guns that could only be used in defense and only for their owners” — and the Armatix iP1 pistol \/ watch combo<\/strong>. Sadly, that piece is one of those we lost in the hack last year. This time, the science fiction ref — provided by Brett Fujioka<\/strong> — is from Psycho-Pass<\/a>. <\/p>\n
