A system for improving firearm safety is provided comprising a firearm comprising a trigger mechanism for discharging the firearm, a trigger safety member to prevent accidental discharging of the firearm, and an electronic housing contained in a pistol grip of the firearm. The housing receives a message from a mobile device, determines that the message contains an instruction associated with an owner of the firearm, and transmits, based on the instruction, a command regarding the trigger safety member. The electronic housing transmits the command along an internal cable to a motor embedded in the trigger mechanism and receives the message via a transceiver component of the electronic housing. The motor, based on the command, turns an eccentric component to one of block and unblock the trigger safety member. The electronic housing further comprises an externally visible LED indicating one of engaged and disengaged status of the eccentric component.
