Another player in this emerging field, Safe Gun Technology, or SGTi, uses a fingerprint recognition system to make sure a gun can be fired only by its owner. “Our technology is designed for two things; to retrofit guns through licensed gunsmiths only and to be incorporated into the manufacturing process,” said Charlie Miller, chairman of the Columbus, Ga.-based company.

Miller said the goal is to produce a retrofit kit that costs less than $150, including installation.

Miller said SGTi is raising money to conduct testing and expects to have a product to release to market in under a year.
