Claims20
An emergency assistance device for a firearm, comprising:
- a housing having a mounting feature disposed on the housing, the mounting feature adapted to selectively interconnect to a firearm;
- a transceiver adapted to connect to the housing and configured to emit an emergency signal;
- said transceiver adapted to wirelessly communicate with other devices and/or 5 emergency services;
- an activation feature configured to move between a first position and a second position;
- wherein movement of the activation feature out of retainment in the first position, from the first position to the second position, or into retainment in the second position, causes the transceiver to emit the emergency signal;
- a camera configured to connect to the housing and adapted to take a video;
- wherein the mounting feature is disposed on a first surface of the housing;
- and
- a bias member positioned between the activation feature and the housing to retain the activation member in the first position.
