We challenge gun retailers: give these life-saving products shelf space alongside the guns and ammunition you sell in ever-growing numbers. We challenge investors: put money into the rigorous testing and refinement needed to get proven products to a mass market. We challenge the gun industry, including Glock, SIG Sauer, and the other manufacturers of the guns we purchase for our police officers: put your product engineers to work developing safety innovations. We challenge other innovators in the private sector to step forward with solutions. Law enforcement officers and firearms experts from 10 cities and counties in 6 states are conducting hands-on evaluation and sharing their findings with Consortium members and with the product developers. The Consortium is currently evaluating four of them - Vara Safety’s Reach 2, Identilock, Gun Guardian, and T-Lock. Startup companies have brought a host of promising gun security and safety products to market in recent years. In an era of technological innovation, this is not an unsolvable problem! One reason many gun owners cite for not securing their weapons is that conventional gun locks and safes are seen as too slow or unwieldy to unlock in an emergency. One way of preventing these tragedies is to promote the development, distribution and use of gun security products that gun owners will actually use, day in and day out.
