I had NRA training at 14 and have yet to try to clean a loaded weapon. That old "cleaning a loaded gun" saw is used to cover up a lot of other reasons, usually involving alcohol or yee hawing with a couple of friends in the basement or backyard.

I'd go further than than safety locks, a minimum would be the double safety, as on an APC 1911. But what I want is a safety that only allows one person to fire the weapon, like a chip with a ring that has a chip.

I'm not arguing with you, I just think your good idea benefits from some expansion.
