Smart Guns required in New Jersey -- July 6, 2007
"And, how about this: A microchip that allows a
police officer to be the only person to shoot his/her own gun.
This chip technology creates a "smart gun."
A microchip implanted into a police officer's hand would match up
with a scanning device inside the handgun.
If the officer and the gun are a match,
a digital signal unlocks the trigger for firing the gun eliminating
a criminal or other unauthorized person
from being able to fire the gun...... (
Ed: no self-protection )
New Jersey has actually passed legislation that
will require "smart gun" technology on all handguns
sold, which would be three years after the state attorney general
certifies that "smart guns" are available on the
market.

SMART GUN ....User Authorization System
.... Implant technology --April 13, 2004
April 13, 2004--Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ADSXD), an advanced technology development company,
announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, VeriChip
Corporation, has entered
into a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with FN
Manufacturing a leading gun manufacturer to develop a first in
the world of firearms. The team's objective is an integrated
User Authorization System for firearms using VeriChip RFID
technology.
Located in Columbia, South Carolina, this firearms manufacturer
produces small arms for military and police forces, as well as
the commercial market. The company is engaged in R&D efforts
to study and develop various technologies (commonly referred to
and understood in industry and the private sector as
"smart gun") that could limit the use of a gun
to one or more authorized or recognized users.

Chip in hand to match scanner in gun --
April 13, 2004
A new computer chip promises to keep police guns from firing if
they fall into the wrong hands.
The tiny chip would be implanted in a
police officer's hand and would match up
with a scanning device inside a handgun.
If the officer and gun match, a digital signal unlocks the
trigger so it can be fired. But if a child or criminal would get
hold of the gun, it would be useless.
The chip needs no battery or power source. It works much like
those that have been implanted in pets over the past decade so
they can be identified if they get lost. Verichip, a subsidiary
of the Palm Beach-based technology firm Applied Digital
Solutions, developed a ``more intelligent'' version two years ago
for humans and estimates that about 900 people
worldwide have been implanted with them.
The chips can be used instead of security key cards at office
buildings or to use global positioning satellites to keep track
of a relative who might suffer from Alzheimer's. It can store
medical information that emergency rooms could read or financial
and identification information to prevent fraud.
The chip, about the size of a grain of rice, is
inserted into an arm or hand with a
syringe _ much like a shot is given.
Bolton said the company has seen no medical complications and
that the technology will only improve with time.

Sensors in gun measure grip -- Jan.
8, 2005 Smart,
personalized handguns
Researchers at the New Jersey Institute of
Technology, in Newark, are building a handgun to fire
only when its circuitry and software recognize the grip of an
authorized shooter.
Sensors in the handle measure the
pressure the hand exerts as it squeezes the trigger. Then
algorithms check the shooter's grip with stored, authorized
patterns to give the go-ahead.
"We can build a brain inside the gun," said Timothy
Chang, a professor of electrical engineering at the institute who
devised the hardware for the grip-recognition system.
"The technology is becoming so cheap that we can have not
just a computer in every home but a computer in every
gun."

RFID deactivator
One such company, EnXnet, Inc. (OTCBB:EXNT)
announced on Thursday that it has filed its latest patent
application for a new Radio Frequency Identification Deactivation
Device (RFID). Keyword, "Deactivation". EnXnet's
emerging technology provides the solution to the personal privacy
concerns of the ACLU and other personal privacy advocates to the
widespread application of RFID Electronic Article Surveillance
devices by its internal design and construction, which causes
permanent deactivation of the RFID at the point of sale.

Military Guns --April 14, 2004
VeriChip President Keith Bolton
said that the technology could also improve safety for
the military and individual gun owners.
"If you let your mind wander to other potential
uses, you can imagine the lives that could be
saved," he said.

Chip in hand...scanner in gun -April 13, 2004
Verichip has marketed similar microchips for security and medical
purposes. It said today that it has a partnership with gun maker
F-N Manufacturing to produce the smart guns. The companies have
developed a prototype and are working to refine its accuracy.

Global ID--April 14, 2004
He also alluded to plans for FN Herstal, which manufactures Browning
and Smith and Wesson firearms, to develop an
implant-firearm system that would make a firearm functional only
to the individual implanted with its corresponding microchip. A
scanner in the gun would be designed to recognize the owner.

Smart gun Law-- Gov. Jms. McGreevey
(New Jersey) -- Dec. 24, 2002
Owner's Grip on file
A similar bill has been introduced in the New York
Legislature.
Under the law, smart-gun technology will be required in new
handguns sold three years after the state attorney general
determines a prototype is safe and commercially available. Weapons
used by law enforcement officers would be exempt until
a separate decision on whether the requirement should apply to
them.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology is developing a smart-gun
prototype that would use sensors on the pistol grip to identify a
user.
Gun owners would have their grips programmed at a
gun shop or police range by practice-firing the weapon. A
microchip in the weapon would remember the grip and determine in
an instant whether the authorized user was holding the weapon. If
not, the gun would not fire.
