Texas gun laws have been under scrutiny following the mass shooting in Uvalde this May. A tech company in Austin is aiming to help with protective measures in highly populated areas.

AUSTIN, Texas — He noticed an increase in mass shootings across the country and wanted to step in. Three years later, he’s created a software to detect concealed handguns. If a handgun is in a backpack, the thermal detection system detects the heat source.

“It tells the difference between a cell phone, keys and an actual weapon,” said Ciabarra. "That's the key here. It can diversify the different items and let you know that it is a weapon, or it's not a weapon, you can get the people in your building much faster.”
