<p>A firearm (100) equipped with a capability of wireless communication reports a discharge of the firearm (100) to a reporting center terminal (130) via a wireless communication link. The firearm (100) includes a firearm housing including a trigger assembly (49). A sensor is coupled to the firearm housing for sensing the discharge of the firearm. The housing, e.g., portion of a pistol grip (45,46), also encases a wireless communication unit for transmitting a message indicating occurence of the firearm discharge to the terminal (130) via wireless communication network. A GPS receiver installed in the firearm (100) receives GPS signals from GPS satellites (150) to enable calculation of the location of the firearm (100), either at the firearm (100) or by a Position Determining Equipment (PDE) (170), to identify the location of the firearm (100) to the reporting center terminal (130). Upon detection of the discharge of the firearm (100), the firearm (100) initiates activities of the GPS receiver and the wireless communication unit.</p> |
