Abstract

A method and system for preventing the firing of a gun comprises a component on the gun for preventing the gun from being fired, for example, preventing the trigger from being pulled when the gun is in an area that has a wireless power sending source configured to send power to the component for firing prevention. There is no need for a battery on the gun or the transfer of any information between the component and the wireless power sending source, the power being emitted from the source and received by the component controls the firing capability.
