ABSTRACT:
A safety system for selectively disabling a firearm is disclosed. The firearm includes a mechanical linkage by which the firearm is fired by movement of a trigger, with the mechanical linkage including a link element. The link element is suitably mounted for movement between a position where the mechanical linkage is interrupted and a position where the mechanical linkage is functional. A link moving device for moving the link element between the interruped position and functional position is also provided with the link moving device normally biased to move the link element and hold the link element in the functional position. A remotely controlled actuating device for actuating the link moving device includes a transmitter designed to be carried by the operator of the firearm and a receiver adapted to be mounted in the handle of the firearm. The link member is conveniently a firing pin and/or a trigger bar. Once activated, the safety system is designed to be deactivated either by the absence of the activation signal or a new enabling signal.
