ABSTRACT:
A mechanism is for use with a weapon for storing desired information about the weapon and the person licensed to use the weapon on the weapon. The weapon includes an audio controlled blocking mechanism for inhibiting or enabling the weapon's firing mechanism in response to an audio frequency signal spoken by the weapon's user and received by a receiver installed on the weapon. The weapon has installed an audio recognition unit having an input from the receiver, and a processor which determines if a received signal matches predetermined, stored audio signals in order to both enable and inhibit. A memory stores information about the weapon and the authorized user. Information identifying at least the serial number of the weapon and the identity of the user is stored in the memory. An information encoder is available at the point of purchase of the weapon or another chosen location to load the information in the memory. The weapon is inhibited from use until the information is stored. A reader retrieves and displays the stored information at a location which may be remote from that at which the information is stored on the weapon.
