Glendening also said he would seek safe-gun legislation next year that eventually would require
each handgun sold in the state to have technology that prohibits anyone but the owner from

"Do not listen to the gun manufacturers who say this cannot be done," Glendening said. "The
technology is being developed to make childproof handguns that are reliable and affordable.
Just like air bags and childproof aspirin bottles, the industry will not do what is right until we
make them do what is right."
