Patent abstract
Various embodiments describe techniques for tracking a firearm and generating an alert when the firearm is outside a designated authorized location. In various embodiments, a location device, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver coupled to a transmitter, is affixed to and/or associated with a firearm. A location of the firearm is transmitted via the location device to a location service module. The location service module compares the location of the firearm to at least one designated authorized location and, responsive to determining that the location of the firearm is not within the designated authorized location, generates an alert. A firearm that includes a location device is also described.
