Zero.
Half of the 29,000 deaths in which a firearm was used are murders and homicides. The other half are suicides. A very small number, like 400, are accident related deaths of children under the age of 14.

Or your normal shooting hand/arm is injured so you have to use your other hand.

I would just want a gun that shoots where I want it to, with no frills attached.

So: The bad guys break into my house and my sphincter tightens up, my grip does too I pull the trigger nothing happens, I concentrate knowing that my gun wont shoot because my grip changed due to the fact i am about to crap my pants, I concentrate more, by that time the person I am about to shoot has popped a cap in me and I lay there and as I gasp my last my bowels loosen, I crap myself and the gun in my hand finally goes off.

Right. When I grab my pistol in self-defense in my greasy, sweaty, bloody, dirty hand I want to know that the sensor may recognize me as much as 50% of the time. Geez, what bozos!
To: Hawthorn
Could be lower. I'm going from memory of what I saw on Gunsite.com
I'm at work and can't access that site.
Point is the number of accidents are very low.

Pretty stupid to build in the potential for malfunction at a life-or-death moment.

Pretty stupid to build in the potential for malfunction at a life-or-death moment. Not if you're a liberal. Any way to decrease the population of lawful gun owners is a public good for them.
To: Dr. Zzyzx
Just hope the electronics are more sturdy than a cell phone. Drop one of those and they quit working 90% of the time. So, I just can't wait to get one! (sarc)

Good afternoon.
"Donald should test it first pesonally in Iraq."
I thought some neighborhoods in DC would be perfect test sites.
I'm curious. Would a shooter ever really try to come up with this, or do you have to be a gun grabber to begin with?

I would think you would have to be a gun grabber to even consider thinking about it in the first place.

No thanks. My guns have a safety device. It's the trigger. Nothing comes out of the barrel unless I pull the trigger. No batteries or electronics to fail. Works as designed and desired.
