There’s still a lot more that needs to be looked at and perfected before introducing smart guns to the world.

A firearm that can only be shot by the authorized user in an effort to prevent accidental shootings is Ginger Chandler's goal. She is the co-founder of LodeStar Works, a company working to develop a “smart gun” that can be locked and unlocked three different ways: by fingerprint, a pin-pad, and an app.

"I've just got to prove all three ways work," Chandler added."I got to prove they're reliable. And I got to prove that under duress, could I even do the pin pad on the side, right? Probably not. And so, the consumer who's going to buy this is the consumer that has a different concern. Maybe they're worried about small children in the house.

“I have a niece and nephew and my husband is an armed guard, so if they're over, like, knowing that our guns are safe, locked up, if they were to pick one up, knowing that it's locked from an app, would be... I like that. I love that idea, actually,” said gun owner Haley Hardin.
