Wireless Sensor for Firearms

**FUNDAMENTALS** · January 17th, 2015, 08:11 PM

If I am late to the gate with this information I due apologize. A California
Co., called Yardarm Technologies has developed a wireless sensor module
for firearms. It is referred to as a tracking module presently being tested in
a couple of P.D Glock Firearms. It is capable of notifying Dispatchers and
Supervisors if a officers pistol has been removed from the holster, direction
it is pointed, if fired also how many times and the time sequence in between
the number of shots. Can also tell when removed/taken from the holster or
the officer. Interesting technology through a officers smart phone. It
made mention of the officer in Ferguson not being able to call for back-up
because his radio was on the wrong channel. So it appears that assistance
can be enroute without a radio call when officers are confronted with
deadly force confrontations. Worth the read.

Stuff like this seems innocent enough at first glance. Then they start to fall under the category of smart guns which is fine until some commiecrat gets the notion to force this technology on everyone. I can see things like RFID chips, fingerprint recognition, magnetic rings, microchip implant and microstamping becoming an unwanted mandatory expense and intrusion on firearms owners privacy at some point.

Can you hear me now????

How is this thing supposed to report back to the Mothership? Cellular phone, maybe through the Officer's radio?

What happens when the battery charge is gone? Does the firearm stop working?

This, in spades. Sadly, I'm out of rep Brother.

I agree 1000%. Rep given. Way too much can go wrong traveling down this path.

Pennlineman is spot on.

This is a brief glimpse into a future that gunowners and friends of freedom should be deeply worried about. We all shake our fists about registration; but we all need to stay vigilant about all the sneaky ways the anti-rights side are exploring that will enable them to use 'backdoor' methods of eventual confiscation.

Smart guns and smart phone tracking apps of firearms are NOT going to be used in ways that promote freedom. Think of the most Orwellian way a new technology can be used, and the anti-rights people have already thought of an even more imaginative and tyrannical way of using it, and are probably lobbying to get it accomplished.

I don't want my firearm tracked. I don't want my cell phone tracked. I don't want my computer tracked. I don't want my tablet tracked. I don't want my banking tracked. I don't want my movement tracked. Get the idea, its none of the governments business period. If the cops want it all the power to them.
