Some Chicago-area officials have joined a multi-state effort to seek out ideas for gun-safety products.
The Gun Safety Consortium, a group of elected officials, religious leaders, and law enforcement officers from across the country, called Tuesday on gun vendors and other innovators to submit proposals for technologies and features that can make guns safer.
“We have to make them theft-proof, child-proof, and as accident-proof as possible. In an age of technological innovation, this is not an unsolvable problem,” Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain said during an online news conference.
Proposals received by June 1 will be screened by a panel of law enforcement officials from the consortium. They will identify those with the most promise and purchase limited quantities for hands-on evaluations by police officers.
