Abstract
A method for maintaining possession of a firearm includes the steps of transmitting a signal between a first transceiver coupled to a firearm and a second transceiver of a secondary carry implement. The secondary carry implement has an alert component. The alert component is activated when a predetermined proximity between the firearm and the secondary carry component is exceeded. The predetermined proximity is inferred from signal strength from the first transceiver that is detected by the second transceiver.
Claims20
A method for maintaining possession of a firearm, comprising the steps of:
- transmitting a signal between a first transceiver coupled to a firearm and a second transceiver of a secondary carry implement, the secondary carry implement having an alert component;
- activating the alert component when a predetermined proximity between the firearm and the secondary carry component is exceeded, wherein the predetermined proximity is inferred from signal strength from the first transceiver that is detected by the second transceiver.
A system for maintaining possession of a firearm, the system comprising:
- a firearm;
- a first tracking element removably secured to the firearm;
- a secondary carry implement having a second tracking element with an alert component, the first and second tracking elements in communication with one another;
- and
- a controller provided in one of the first and second tracking elements, the controller configured to activate the alert component when a predetermined proximity between the firearm and the secondary carry implement has been exceeded which is inferred from a signal strength from the first tracking element below a threshold.
