One approach to reducing certain types of handgun misuse is to create a user-authorized handgun (UAHG), a firearm that can be operated only by an authorized user(s). Technological Options for User-Authorized Handguns clarifies the technical challenges of developing a reliable UAHG. This report determines the requirements and specifications of UAHGs for those concerned with public and/or personal safety, and identifies technologies that could satisfy these needs.Gun controlFirearmsSafety measuresGun control.FirearmsSafety measures.683.43National Academy of Engineering.Committee on User-Authorized Handguns.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971982203321Technological options for user-authorized handguns4360309UNINA
