The biometric gun niche . . .

This niche is so difficult to achieve technically, given the environment of a firing weapon, and so small economically, that I don't hold out any hope for it as a market.

No biometric company has been developing anything for guns, even though the State of Maryland looks like it is going to at least try to require owner-specific smart guns. There are other ways to try to do this besides biometrics, by the way.

The payoff is definitely not worth the investment for a private company. The social value is great . . . but IDX won't be involved anytime soon at all.
