Safety system and method for remotely disabling a weapon

A weapon including a barrel having a muzzle, a trigger, and a handle, comprising:

• a high voltage producing circuit provided in a removable magazine clip including a first portion of a circuit comprising:
• a high voltage source, a receiver for receiving a signal from a transmitter and providing an output;
• a conductor assembly comprising a second portion of the circuit, wherein an electrode extends over the handle, the electrode extending from a lower end of the handle adjacent to an opening adapted to receive the removable magazine clip, wherein a first end of the electrode is electrically connected to a conductor connection disposed on the removable magazine clip adjacent to the output of the first portion of the circuit, and a second end of the electrode extends over the handle and exposed thereon;
• and
• an actuator that generates the signal to connect the high voltage source in the circuit with the electrode in response to the output from the receiver to provide a high voltage current source in the high voltage circuit producing circuit with a sufficient shock to cause a person to release the weapon.

An automatic weapon including a barrel having a muzzle, a trigger, a magazine and a handle, comprising:

• a high voltage producing circuit provided in a removable rail mounted housing including a first portion of a high voltage producing circuit comprising:
• a high voltage power source, a receiver for receiving a signal from a transmitter and providing a high voltage output;
• a conductor assembly comprising a second portion of the high voltage producing circuit, wherein an electrode extends from the removable rail mounted housing to a grip on the weapon, and wherein a first end of the electrode is electrically connected to a conductor connection that is electrically connected to the output of the first portion of the high voltage producing circuit;
• and
• in response to a switch being activated, an actuator produces the signal that generates the high voltage output through the conductor connection to the electrode with a sufficient shock to cause a person to release the weapon.
