Patent attributes
An audio controlled firearm locking system for locking a firearm while screaming is occurring proximate to the firearm includes a locking module and an electronics module, which are mountable to the firearm. The locking module is selectively engageable to at least one movable element of the firearm, movement of which is required to discharge the firearm, thereby allowing the locking module to selectively lock the firearm. The electronics module comprises a battery, a microprocessor, and a microphone. The microprocessor is operationally engaged to the locking module, the battery, and the microphone, which detects audio signals proximate to the firearm and relay the audio signals to the microprocessor. The microprocessor is programmed to analyze the audio signals for an indication of a screaming event. When a screaming event is indicated, the microprocessor actuates the locking module to prevent discharge of the firearm.
