Abstract
A firearm safety system for use in an associated portable electronic device is described herein. The system includes logic executable by a microprocessor to control a firearm to selectively prevent a feed member from communicating a bullet or a striker from contacting the bullet thereby selectively preventing shooting the gun. Pass code data is received from an associated user of the firearm safety system and is compared against security pass code data stored a memory to generate an unlock signal in response to the logic determining the pass code data received from the associated user matches the stored security pass code data. The unlock signal is communicated from the associated portable electronic device to a receiver of the firearm device as the enable signal to control the associated firearm device to selectively permit the feed member and/or the striker from operating.
