gizmodo.com — Basically the gun is disarmed and a red LED lights up unless the corresponding watch is close enough to send a wireless signal. While I really don't see a high demand for it, Armatix's .22cal weapon will be shipping next month for 7,000 euro, which is just under 10k in Washingtons. The watch is probably included.

lol.Screw tech malfunction- in a life threatening situation, the .22 calibur is going to be the key issue, methinks- unless you're shooting to kill, most folks can shrug a couple of those off.

I agree about the drugs part, at least - I've heard of them standing up to a tasering. Many of the recreational drugs are highly potent painkillers.

You can joke about it all you want, but the latest anti-gun trends are to have a positive safety on all weapons. The cost to do it makes having any weapon cost prohibitive. Remember California has a law to serial number stamp both the bullet and the casing as the bullet is fired. Of course the frequency for the weapon and the watch would have to be unique.

Make it four Internets and you've got a deal.

you're missing the point, if your enemy knocks it out of your hand it wont work and they can't shoot you.

@Jayne I'd like to see you take a .22 round in the stomach or shoulder and then keep trying to hurt someone.

Theoretically I guess you could have it use the same key for your department or whatever. I assume they'd all be wearing a watch.
