An interesting idea, and no doubt well intended, but I have to agree with the second part of your sentence.

As the firearm is disabled with this safety bullet, I'm guessing there will be many victims killed by criminals due to the victim forgetting to eject the safety bullet.

The other way that this will kill more people is that some will become more lax about where they store their firearm since the safety bullet will prevent any problems. This will cause more children to have access to firearms, and there will be cases where the kids will eject the safety bullet then hurt someone with live rounds.

Does anyone really think that those who are careless with firearms around children, are actually going to make the effort to buy a safety bullet and make sure it is properly used?

If someone should pull the trigger with the Safety Bullet in the firing chamber, however, it would jam the weapon until removed with a special tool.

Like you said, this guy will get someone killed.

"Ha-ha, I wasn't really trying to shoot you! Hold on while I find the 'special tool', Mr. Burglar. I forgot I'd chambered a safety cartridge!"
