Solution in search of problem
So, some guy thinks that requiring a PIN to operate a Glock is a good idea:
Well, when the police and military adopt them, I’ll be convinced.

Apparently he forgot one of those important principles. That your life depends on the reliability of your weapons.

“Well, when the police and military adopt them, I’ll be convinced.”
Careful what you say. It may come back to bite you. I would say instead that if the police and military adopt it, I won’t, because it’ll still be a stupid idea.
Some people have far too much free time, and brains that work all wrong besides.

I’m a cop and I think its a bad idea

All my friends with kids have had their smart phones completely jacked by their kids. I never underestimate the determination of a kid to push buttons until he gets what he wants.

Did the Navy teach him to use that terrible grip at 2:21? Or do you have to use a crappy grip to keep from pressing the buttons while in use?

[I]n the middle of one of the most dangerous regions in the world, even with clear Rules of Engagement, every time I went on gate duty, there was a piece of tape over my ammo clip on my M-16 and M1911 .45. Why? Because the most heavily armed military in the world did not want accidental shootings. If a situation arose, I would have to eject my ammo clip, remove the tape, and reinsert and work the action before I could fire.
This was in a combat zone. Yet I have spent the last two fucking days dealing with armchair commandos telling me they need unlimited firepower to be safe in… Connecticut.

Shall I assume you are convinced?

It’s not about “need” Manish. I get that your were pissed about having to keep your “clips” taped as though you were a child. That doesn’t mean everyone should be similarly hampered.
Actually I don’t believe you. What kind of “tape” would you need to prevent a round being stripped from the magazine by the bolt? Shall we test this assertion? I have a few ARs and plenty of different kinds of “tape”.
I any case, stupid military rules that treat soldiers like children don’t apply to me as a free citizen. Fort Hood was essentially a gun free zone when Jihad Johnny attacked it too. Is that your standard for “safety”?
Fuck the safety Nazis. I’ll take care of myself and my own, thank you. It’s no one else’s business. MY BUSINESS IS NOT YOUR BUSINESS. GET IT? That’s a feature of a free country, not a bug.
(And if you call a magazine a “clip” then what do you call a clip? I’ve never gotten an answer to that question. The AR platform, among several others, uses both magazines and clips, and so how do you understand each other when calling them both “clips”? Just curious.)

“I am irresponsible enough to both leave a loaded gun lying around where there are kids and not train my kid to never touch random guns, but also totally want to spend lots of money on this system for my gun, which I obviously never think I might need to use in a hurry, which is why I leave it lying around loaded with a round in the chamber.”
The set of such people is the empty set.

(Re above, “ammo clip”?
Seriously?
Good for Cole.
His posturing about “armchair warriors” is not my problem, though*.
* Note I say this as someone who doesn’t carry and doesn’t have Instant Access Loaded Guns For Emergencies lying around the house, either.)

By the way; when my kids were the age of the one in that video, they were already trained in proper gun handling. They also knew not to play with matches and gasoline (unless they were outside in a safe place) or throw kitchen knives at one another, or play in the highway, or ride their bikes into the street without looking both ways, or drink bleach.
The safety nazis would have us keep children helpless, ignorant and afraid, so they’ll grow up to be angry Progressives, voting for other people to take care of them. That’s all we’re seeing here.

Oh, Mansih; where were you that you were using both an M-16 (as opposed to an M4) and a 1911 (as opposed to an M9)? Sounds more like Vietnam. Just seems a little unusual for the Middle East is all. Not impossible, but unusual to have both of those at the same time, in the 21st Century. Educate us please. Maybe I don’t have my facts straight.

Manish, Jack Cole is a clown. His opinions on how many rings are in a circus are what he is an expert.

All modern guns require a “key” to operate them. It’s called a cartridge.

Uncle said that he would adopt them when the military did. Military has had that policy for a long time.
August 11th, 2016 at 11:18 pm
Nice try changing the subject though

There’s also that unless you need quick access to the weapon a cable lock or trigger lock will be 1) cheaper, 2) more reliable, and 3) be modular so as to work on any type of gun.
That’s makes it really hard for an electronic gizmo to beat it. (Again integrated electronics versus a length of steel with a locking mechanism)
And when quick access is required then you have to compete with quick release safes and various types of retention holsters.
But electronics/computers are “The Future” so a smart gun is a lot sexier (and more useful for gun control) than say… existing and common and cheap solutions.

“Uncle said that he would adopt them when the military did. Military has had that policy for a long time.”
Doesn’t seem like policy. Seems like a bunch of guys who don’t know how their guns work doing something silly and potentially life threatening.
Where were the numbered buttons on their guns again?

No thanks.

This is a good one too.
