Except when it isn't smart any longer. Which makes no sense to begin with.Basically, a glock that performs like a glock, except smart.

At the end of the day, though, two required specifications seemingly would render the whole exercise moot. The first requires the system to “default to a state to allow the pistol to fire†in the event the “security device†malfunctions. The second requires the operator to be able to “quickly reset or disengage†the security device if a malfunction occurs.
And that, of course, says it all when it comes to the supposed “wisdom†of “smart guns.†Any firearm that won’t fire when it’s needed just isn’t “smart.†And any “security†system that defaults to turning itself off during a problem just isn’t secure.
