Let’s go ahead and skip to the part where your kid picks up a gun and pulls the trigger. What do you do then?
Whatever your answer is you might want to do that first and skip this silliness.

Anyway, there are a number of things that can go wrong with this. The big one being is what if you grab your gun and in the heat of the moment you forget you have a safety bullet in and pull the trigger? Or someone else pulls the trigger just messing around (say a kid gets a hold of it, which is a possibility otherwise you wouldn't be considering this) and you don't know? Not only does nothing happen when you try to shoot the bad guy, your gun is disabled and you and your family are dead. Keeping an empty chamber isn't a great alternative, but it's miles better than this gimmick.

$25 bucks for a snap cap? WTF?

Is there some dude out there advocating this stuff? Somebody asked about them for shotguns over in the long-guns section.

Thats what I need to do, invent 14 completely useless gun related "safety devices" and then hire that Vince guy to sell the stuff on paid late night TV.

I’m saying what action will you take once you have found that your kid has picked up a firearm and pulled the trigger?

I downloaded.
I watched.
I chortled.

Good way to get yourself killed.
Bad guy would get a kick out of your poking rod into gun so you could shoot him.

I suppose you could train yourself to use it, enough so that it would be automatic. At 3am. In a groggy panic. Possibly. Maybe. Nah.

how many teenagers have been taught to drive safely? how many die every year in car accidents?

all this talk about teaching kids about firearm safety is great but no matter how much they are taught some are going to get curious. i feel it is my responsibilty to have my guns put away or be safe just in case my children or someone elses decide they want to play with em.
