Gun App. Is it safe?

          I was reading online that they came out with an app that you can control your pistol. Included with a watch. Are you serious? Who the hell came up with this? Will this be sold to the guy with the most money? How exclusive will this app be? Who will be able to purchase this gun? The following has been copied from the ABC News site.

Following TrackingPoint's "smart rifle," which has tracking and digital optic technology to create for a more precise shot, a California-based company has demonstrated a different type of smart gun technology. Yardarm has introduced its Safety First technology, which can allow gun owners to remotely engage or disengage the trigger safety on their firearms. The technology has to be built right into the firearm, though no gun manufacturer has yet done so.

This is how it works: Inside the gun lives a processor, sensor and a SIM card, just like the one in your phone. With this technology the gun can "talk" to a phone app, thereby permitting the gun owner to view information about the firearm remotely. The software will alert the owner of any gun movement. Whether there's just a minimal or long distance movement of the gun, the geo-locate capability will alert the owner to engage or disengage the trigger safety. Once logged into the password protected app, the owner will be able to manage multiple firearms with the Yardarm technology.

The technology does not allow, however, for the gun to be remotely fired. "This is much more flexible for the gun owner," Jim Schaff, the vice president of marketing of Yardarm, told ABC News. "It allows the gun owner to set gun rules. It will send alerts -- it can email or SMS them -- and let them know if someone is handling their gun. Maybe they have kids at home. Maybe someone is robbing there house. Whatever it may be, they can track it."

Schaff told ABC News that the company wants the owner to have the choice. That's why there is the engage-and-disengage feature. "We want to give the control to the owner of the gun," Schaff said. "The owner can set rules based on the motion sensor tech. If there is any motion, they can set it so it always activates the safety or they can go the other way. We don't want the tech to impede." 

So we knowing how kids are these days; You truly believe that this will be safe around kids or even teenagers that like to discover everything? When showering we don't take the phone with us, that is the moment when your phone mysteriously disappears and guess who has it? Yes exactly your kids.
Or if the app is used for other uses. Tweaked and installed on designated rifles to do one shot one kill. That would create WWIII. Just the thought of how the government will use it just scares the hell out of me. Not knowing if on these exact moment they are preparing a weapon that is triggered by a simple app.
Some will look at it as a great thing. But will it really be used for that purpose, knowing how technology is growing day by day. We shall see how this ends up. Hopefully all for the good and is used how it was intended for.
