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. 606 $aGun control 606 $aFirearms$xSafety measures 615 0$aGun control. 615 0$aFirearms$xSafety measures. 676 $a683.43 712 02$aNational Academy of Engineering.$bCommittee on User-Authorized Handguns. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971982203321 996 $aTechnological options for user-authorized handguns$94360309 997 $aUNINA
