Could the government monitor you through your handgun?

Shared with permission from an unnamed friend that knows his stuff:

“First, let me say I am not a huge conspiracy guy. Second, I do believe that government can become abusive and intrusive.

So what does that have to do with a Glock 19? How many you knew that every Glock has a RFID chip embedded in the frame? It is used for inventory control.

However, what would happen if at major traffic checkpoints, there was a RFID scanner. So you are crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. The scanner reads the chip on your favorite Glock. That is then us as probable cause for a stop and a search.

Just a thought. This is not fantasy. Glock confirmed the presence of the chip when I visited their plant a few months ago.

Thoughts?”

Makes me glad I don't own a glock. I think it's fine if they want to do it, but they should let everyone know that buys one.

I’m fairly positive that Glock is not the only company that does this. I have read that, at a minimum, the plastic guns from SIG and HK have RFID chips as well, but I do not have positive confirmation.

JMB’s classic just keeps better with age.

Interesting. I could completely see a tyrannical government (or any other organization) abusing the shit out of this.

You could possibly access it from the inside

Maybe. I'm still pretty sure it would be illegal to tamper with it, even from the inside. I could be wrong though. It hasn't happened before but there's a first time for everything. :whistling:

I just checked all my HKs for RFID chips and didn't get any pings.
