(671 posts)1. GPS chips have a couple of issues. The first one, of course, is a power source. (Should have thought of that myself, but it's been a long day) Another huge one is that what you've done with this is make it easier for thieves with a reasonable knowledge of modern electronics to locate weapons they can steal.
2. Local authority is part of the problem we already face. What's to stop a city council form declaring the entire city a gun-free zone - including your house?
3. HIPPA laws would prevent this.
4. I think this runs into HIPPA also.
5. Why would you not include all weapons? I'm not beign snarky. Charles Whitman used a Remington model 700 6mm bolt-action and a shotgun, among other weapons, to kill 18 people.
6. What type of certification? Most states require a CCW license - is this similar?
I really worry about the whole GPS chip thing. I'm guessing that it wouldn't be hard to disable the chip so that no one knew you were carrying, which would then mean that only the law-abiding citizens would show up on your app. Of course, that's the problem now - criminals don't worry about laws.
But hey, it's still fun to debate rational ideas presented without any personal invective, unlike so many other recent posters.
