This report summarizes a June 2002 workshop at the National Academy of Engineering that examined three related issues: the state of technology for owner-authorized handguns; the role of product liability in the development and marketing of such firearms; and the potential impact of these smart guns on health and crime. Smart-gun technology has the potential to prevent unintended or undesirable uses of handguns, such as accidental shootings; the shooting of police officers by assailants using the officers' own weapons; suicides; homicides with stolen handguns; and other gun-related crimes. However, information presented at the workshop suggests that considerably more research is needed to bring a reliable and commercially viable product to the marketplace. The report also notes that the impact of smart-guns will be influenced by legal issues, human behavior, economic conditions, and other factors. 606 $aGun control$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aFirearms$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aFirearms$xSafety measures$vCongresses 606 $aFirearms$xDesign and construction$vCongresses 615 0$aGun control 615 0$aFirearms 615 0$aFirearms$xSafety measures 615 0$aFirearms$xDesign and construction 701 $aDavis$b Lance A$01809799 701 $aPearson$b Greg$01808305 712 02$aNational Academy of Engineering. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969993503321 996 $aOwner-authorized handguns$94479192 997 $aUNINA
