TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) – Mike Worley invented the Safety Bullet to bridge a
gap.
On one side, curious kids raised by reckless parents/guardians with
guns.
On the other, responsible gun-owners who demand fast access to self-
defense.
In the middle, a little girl in Panama City, FL, shot to death by her
brother playing with Dad's gun in 1995.
...
According to a study of accidental shootings by the Centers for Disease
Control & Prevention, there were 363 unintentional shooting deaths in 16
states between 2003 and 2006.
49 percent of the shootings were inflicted by someone else other than
the victims
78 percent of the victims were children -- infants to 14 years old
81 percent of the shooters were under the age of 25
Half of the cases were family members killing other family members --
brothers, sisters, cousins.
Nearly all of them involved a handgun that was not properly secured.
The stats and the stories inspired the Safety Bullet's design. It's just
like a regular ammo cartridge, same primer and casing, but the bullet
itself is a neoprene ball.
In a semi-automatic pistol, you plug it on top of the live ammo in a
magazine, load it into the chamber and just leave the handgun out where
you need to get to it quickly.
"A child happens by -- or the bad guy gets in without you knowing it --
grabs the firearm and pulls the trigger, you're going to hear a sound
like a cap gun going off," said Scott Kilby, owner of RangeUSA in East
Memphis and the West Tennessee dealer of the Safety Bullet. "The
neoprene ball expands, seals the slide, and the gun is locked up.
"Or if the attacker gets a hold of your firearm and pulls the trigger on
the Safety Bullet round, then it locks up, and they don't have your
weapon to use against you."
Responsible gun-owners must train with the Safety Bullet like they would
with any other safety device. They can leave their handguns out of a
safe or without gun locks, but they must remember to eject it first in
order to load a live round.
...
"In most cases of accidental shootings no one had used any kind of cable
lock, trigger lock and or gun safe," countered Worley. "The reason was
simple: most locks are a joke. If you needed your gun in a hurry, and
it was locked up by any of the locks that were available, then you would
be in a world of trouble."
...
"The risk-taking teenager or the depressed teenager, they have the
ability to defeat the Safety Bullet," Helms said. "I think that would be
an issue."
"Not to say that this is to, in any way, replace responsible firearm
ownership or to properly keep your firearm secured, but for some people,
this would be a perfect fit," said Kilby.
"If the Safety Bullet saved just one life, it was worth the effort,"
said Worley. "To the best of my knowledge, it has already saved 20 kids
so far. I sleep well." | f****a

gun if you fire.

bullet and lock my gun up when I need it the most?
If one snapcap is not enough, put two there.
