Technology such as airbags and electronic rollover stabilizers has played a key role in reducing driving deaths over the past thirty years. For example, 11,300 fewer people died in automobile crashes in 2011 than in 1985. Similarly, personalized guns have the potential to improve firearm safety by as much as 25% by virtually eliminating child firearm accidents, suicides using somebody else’s firearm and victims of crimes committed with the up to 500,000 estimated firearms stolen annually.

Today, the primary alternatives to a personalized firearm are biometric gun safes and trigger locks. But these options still require the same change in behavior as their mechanical equivalents.

There are over one million firearm carrying officers in local and state police departments across the country and another 500,000+ in federal agencies such as the US Border Patrol and prison guards in government correctional institutions. A survey in August 2017 of 401 law enforcement professionals on both coasts sponsored by the King County Sheriffs Department showed that 44% of law enforcement professionals have more than just a slight interest in personalized guns. This interest apparently is driven by a high level of concern (87%) of gun grabs which are a significant risk for police.

Some in the gun safety movement fear that Personalized Firearms could increase the number of households with handguns and thus have a negative effect. Any such effect will be more than offset by the additional security and safety provided by personalized firearms. Others in the gun owning community worry about the reliability of a personalized gun when it is needed for self defense. Our LS9 will be proven to be as – if not more – reliable than its mechanical counterparts.
