[longlane]

Clearly this is a proof of concept (in .22 to boot), but it mirrors technologies envisioned for many years and attempted many times before.

Thoughts? Concerns? Pros? Cons?

If I can remote control my gun, somebody else can remote control my gun.
No, thanks.

Never.

You can't use it with your weak hand, then.

And... if it requires a proximity signal to work, then either batteries can cause problems, or electronic jamming. Cell phone jammers are the size of a pack of cigarettes. I would NEVER use a gun that could be jammed in the same manner.

Just for the record...

I'm not a proponent of the technology. I just found this interesting and thought that we, as an active gun forum, might find this interesting as well. Putting a finer point on my opinion...kill it with fire Worst idea...
