1. A system, comprising:
- a firearm, a sensor device included in the firearm, the sensor device including a subscriber identity module (SIM), and a remote monitoring station, wherein the remote monitoring station is configured to communicate with the SIM over a wireless communications network, and the SIM is configured to store network state information, including a location area identity (LAI) received from a base transceiver station (BTS) of the wireless communication network in a dial buffer of the SIM and to provide the contents of the dial buffer to the remote monitoring station via unstructured supplementary service data messages passed over a dedicated signaling channel of the wireless communications network.

Abstract
A firearm includes a firing mechanism and a sensor device. The sensor device includes a subscriber identity module configured to communicate with a server over a signaling channel of a wireless communications network. The Sensor device is configured to enable/disable the firing mechanism in accordance with instructions received by the SIM from the server. Movements and/or attempted operations of the firearm may be monitored using an application running on a mobile device, which application receives information concerning the firearm over the signaling channel of the wireless communications network.
