Abstract
A firearm safety and control system and a safety magazine therefor are described. In one embodiment, a safety magazine disposed within a firearm disables or enables a firing control mechanism in the firearm upon sensing or not sensing the presence of, or communicating or not communicating with, an external communication and/or enabling device. In another embodiment, the safety magazine locks itself into or unlocks itself from the frame of the firearm upon sensing or not sensing the presence of, or communicating or not communicating with, an external communication and/or enabling devices. The safety magazine may be configured to be received in unmodified, existing, stock firearms.
