Abstract
Implementations of firearm regulation systems may include a firearm safety system (FSS) configured to physically couple to a firearm. The FSS may include a locking mechanism configured to prevent the firearm from firing and a sensor configured to detect an environmental parameter. The firearm regulation system may also include a management system communicatively coupled to the FSS and a site safety system (SSS) communicatively coupled to the management system. The SSS may include one or more lockdown mechanisms.
Claims19
A firearm regulation system comprising:
- a firearm safety system (FSS) configured to physically couple to a firearm, the FSS comprising;
- a locking mechanism configured to prevent the firearm from firing;
- and
- a sensor configured to detect an environmental parameter;
- a management system communicatively coupled to the FSS;
- a site safety system (SSS) communicatively coupled to the management system, the SSS comprising one or more lockdown mechanisms;
- wherein the FSS is configured to, if the sensor detects the environmental parameter, transmit a lock signal to the locking mechanism;
- wherein the locking mechanism is configured to lock the firearm upon receiving the lock signal;
- wherein the SSS is configured to, upon receiving a signal from the management system, activate one or more lockdown mechanisms.
6 more elements
A firearm regulation system comprising:
- a site safety system (SSS) communicatively coupled to a management system, the SSS comprising;
- one or more lockdown mechanisms;
- an RF antenna;
- and
- an RF reader/writer;
- wherein the SSS is configured to, upon receiving a signal from the management system, activate one or more lockdown mechanisms;
- wherein the RF antenna is configured to detect an RFID tag of a firearm when the RFID tag is within range of the RF antenna;
- and
- wherein the SSS is configured to activate lockdown mechanisms upon detecting the RFID tag.
6 more elements
A method of regulating a firearm comprising:
- storing a predetermined location in a firearm safety system (FSS), the FSS configured to physically couple to a firearm;
- detecting, through a sensor comprised in the FSS, a location of the FSS;
- activating a locking mechanism comprised in the FSS if the location detected by the sensor matches the predetermined location, wherein the locking mechanism prevents the firearm from firing;
- wirelessly transmitting, from the FSS, to a management system, through a telecommunication channel, a first signal indicating that the sensor detected the predetermined location;
- wirelessly transmitting, from the management system, through a telecommunication channel, to a site safety system (SSS) a second signal;
- wherein the SSS is configured to, upon receiving the second signal from the management system, activate one or more lockdown mechanisms comprised within the SSS.
