Method and apparatus for shooting using biometric recognition
First Claim
1. An apparatus for shooting comprising:
- a gun;
a controller connected to the gun which controls whether the gun can fire; and
a mechanism for determining a present non-visible biometric signature of a shooter who desires to fire the gun, said biometric signature comprising a pattern of relative internal electric and/or magnetic properties measured through a plurality of body segments of an individual. said determining mechanism including means for measuring the present biometric signature of a shooter, means for comparing the measured biometric signature with a known biometric signature of an individual to recognize the shooter as the individual and sending a signal to said controller when the shooter is recognized, thereby only allowing the gun to fire if the present non-visible biometric signature of the shooter is recognized by the controller.

Abstract
An apparatus for shooting. The apparatus includes a gun. The apparatus includes a controller connected to the gun which controls whether the gun can fire. The apparatus includes a mechanism for determining a present biometric signature of a shooter who desires to fire the gun. The determining mechanism is in communication with the controller. The controller only allows the gun to fire if the present biometric signature of the shooter is recognized by the controller. A method for firing a gun. The method includes the steps of gripping a handle of a gun by a shooter. Then there is the step of recognizing a present biometric signature of the shooter. Next there is the step of releasing a trigger of the gun so the gun can fire as long as the biometric signature of the shooter is recognized.

8. A method for firing a gun having a trigger comprising the steps of:
-
providing a trigger locking mechanism, gripping a handle of a gun by the hand of a shooter;
sensing the present non-visible biometric signature of the shooter by measuring the relative internal electric and/or magnetic properties through a plurality of body segments of the shooter'"'"'s hand, comparing the measured biometric signature with a known biometric signature of an individual to recognize the present non-visible biometric signature of the shooter; and
releasing the trigger locking mechanism so that the trigger can be operated to fire the gun as long as the non-visible biometric signature of the shooter is recognized. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
