Firearm safety system
First Claim
1. A firearm safety apparatus comprising:
- a gun frame housing a first microprocessor;
a first receiver in communication with the first microprocessor, wherein the first receiver is configured to receive a signal;
at least one motor in communication with the first microprocessor;
a trigger;
a sear mechanically connected with the trigger;
a striker mechanically connected with the sear and being operable to selectively contact an associated bullet to thereby shoot the associated bullet from the gun frame;
a first safety lock in communication with the first microprocessor and the at least one motor;
a magazine frame housing a second microprocessor and a feed member configured to selectively communicate the associated bullet to the gun frame;
a second receiver in communication with the second microprocessor, wherein the second receiver is configured to receive the signal; and
a second safety lock in communication with the second microprocessor;
wherein the at least one motor is configured to selectively operate the first safety lock to prevent the striker from operating in response to the signal received by the first receiver;
wherein the second safety lock is configured to selectively prevent the feed member from communicating the associated bullet to the gun frame in response to the signal received by the second receiver.

Abstract
A firearm safety system and method is described herein. The system may include a tracking system, a smart firearm and/or a smart magazine, and a smart tracking unit. The tracking system is in communication with satellites that monitor specific locations, a smart firearm and a portable electronic device. The tracking system includes an internal geographical database of specific monitored locations. The smart firearm includes a microprocessor and a receiver. The motor operates in response to a signal received, which may indicate that the firearm is approaching a no gun safety zone, whereby the signal causes the microprocessor to operate the automatic safety lock to prevent the apparatus from operating. The receiver monitors signals and receives location data from the satellites. The method of operating a smart firearm includes receiving a signal at the at least one receiver and responding to the signal by locking the automatic safety lock.
