ROCKVILLE, Md., May 4 (UPI) -- A gun store owner in Maryland has given up on plans to sell the first smart gun in the United States after anti-gun control extremists threatened to murder him if he sold the weapon.
Andy Raymond, co-owner of Engage Armament in Rockville, Md, was forced not to sell the newly-developed Armatix iP1 .22-caliber handgun due to negative reaction to its revolutionary safety feature. The gun is a standard .22-caliber automatic with one significant addition to the deadly weapon - it cannot be fired unless the shooter is wearing an accompanying wristwatch.
