ABSTRACT:
A safety system for selectively disabling a firearm which is fired by a mechanical movement is disclosed. The safety system includes a block which is moved between an engaged position whereby the mechanical firing movement is blocked and a disengaged position whereby the mechanical firing movement is not blocked. The block has a bearing surface which engages a relatively immovable part of the firearm when the block is in the engaged position. A moving device is also provided for moving the block from the disengaged position to the engaged position, with the moving device normally biasing the block to the disengaged position. A remotely controlled actuating device for actuating the moving device includes a transmitter which selectively transmits a signal and which is designed to be carried by the operator of the firearm. A receiver is located adjacent the moving device. The receiver receives the signal from the transmitter and operates the moving device. Where the mechanical movement includes a member which moves parallel to a metal surface, the block is an elongate bar which is extendable through an aperture in the metal surface. The block can also be a lever which is pivoted intermediate two opposed ends. Conveniently, the moving device is a solenoid.
