Abstract
A firearm safety system for the prevention of undesired or unauthorized discharge of a firearm by a person other than an authorized person. The safety system is made up of a computer chip which is implanted into the authorized user's anatomy for verification of the user. The information from the computer chip is received by a sensor connected to a firearm and the information processed by a processor. If the information received from the computer chip matches that of an authorized user, the firearm can be discharged by the authorized user.
