Sonoran Desert Institute

Mr. Klikas facilitates an Intro to Firearms course, where he sees a growing interest in multiple systems and methods designed to reduce or eliminate negligent discharges and unauthorized use. Leveraging smart components embedded in the firearm will facilitate the use by multiple, authorized users and make the firearm nonfunctional by injecting a destructive solution. Using smart components will send key alerts and provide operating systems power supply status, software updates, and required maintenance based upon the number of rounds discharged through the firearm.
