## Abstract

A trigger assembly includes a trigger shoe configured to disengage a sear to release a firing mechanism in response to force applied by a user. The trigger assembly further includes a blocking mechanism configured to selectively prevent the release of the firing mechanism in response to a control signal.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A firearm comprising:
a gun including a trigger assembly including:
a trigger shoe configured to disengage a sear to release a firing mechanism in response to force applied by a user; and
a blocking mechanism configured to selectively prevent the release of the firing mechanism in response to a control signal; and
an optical scope including a control circuit coupled to the blocking mechanism and configured to provide the control signal when a selected target is aligned to a reticle of the optical scope.
