It finally happened - Biofire Smart Gun (On Roster as of 2/4)

What? Isn’t that just a in public thing; where you are not allowed to launch projectiles within an incorporated area.

Counter intuitive example…. we are allowed to concealed carry a taser pulse x because it doesn’t launch a projectile; it’s not a projectile since the spring is holding the two claws which need to make contact.

Within the home; it shouldn’t be a problem? I havnt found anything prohibiting possession even within the home for self defense? You are not carrying it in public?
No they’re completely illegal unless used by law enforcement in California and some other states. You can’t use any projectile chemical weapons at all like that here. Pepper spray is way more effective and cheaper as well.

Pepper balls and chemical projectile launchers are generally illegal for civilians to own, possess, or buy in California under state tear gas laws. [1, 2]

Yeh, this is so janky. Thanks for letting me know.
 
I think the CA politicians are going to adjust their focus from micro stamping to include biometrics as well. This will effectively kill the gun market in CA.

Which let's face it, That IS their goal. There will be a bill coming (probably being drafted right now) to make all hand guns on the roster
'Safe" using biometric's.

So we'll have Loaded Mag indicator, Mag disconnect, Micro stamping, and biometric activation... the final product will be so "safe" they won't even work.

Now that's a safe firearm, I mean lets face it....Guns are very dangerous to criminals looking to harm us....We can't have working guns, That wouldn't be good at all for the bad guys!

They won’t be able to with the new Supreme Court rulings and DOJ lawsuit I think. Unless something goes horribly wrong

God I hope your right, They don't really seem to care about the Supreme Court or any federal law....They just keep making up ways to get around such things.
I've heard clips of them daring the Feds to come and get them. Don't want to make this political but 🥔s and Comm's will never quit, stop or slow down. They'll just keep coming.....
