Abstract
A “false draw” and/or “shots fired” alert system for use with a weapon holster. The system generates one or more signals when a weapon is drawn from the holster and/or when shots are fired. The signal(s) may include an audible signal and/or a wireless signal. The audible signal identifies the type of weapon drawn (e.g., a handgun, TASER, stun gun) and may include other sounds such as oral commands. The wireless signal may be a text, email, alert, or other notification to one or more remote devices indicating the specific type of weapon has been drawn and/or fired, and may include other information such as GPS location and owner of the holster.
Claims22
A holster for a weapon comprising:
- a body configured to receive a type of weapon selected from the group consisting of a firearm and a TASER;
- and
- an alert system comprising a microcontroller, a power supply, a speaker, and a draw detector;
- wherein the draw detector is configured to detect when a weapon is drawn from the holster and to trigger a logic circuit in the microcontroller in response thereto;
- wherein the logic circuit is programmed to send an audio signal to the speaker corresponding to the type of weapon.
An alert system for use with a holster comprising:
- a microcontroller;
- a power supply;
- a speaker;
- and
- a draw detector;
- wherein the draw detector is configured to transition from a first state to a second state upon detecting that a weapon is drawn from the holster, the first state corresponding to a logic circuit in the microcontroller being inactive, and the second state corresponding to the logic circuit being triggered;
- and
- wherein the logic circuit is programmed to send an audio signal to the speaker corresponding to the type of weapon.
