Abstract
A gun lock device, which may be configured to be disposed adjacent the trigger of a gun to alternatively prevent or enable firing, includes a data receiver, a data memory and a logic device for determining whether security data received by the receiver is the same, or substantially the same, as security data stored in the data memory. One or more separate smartphones are provided to transmit the security data and a gun lock/unlock signal to the gun lock device. The smartphone and the gun lock device operate together to automatically lock the gun when the gun is aimed in the direction of the authorized gun user (e.g. the gun owner) or the direction of any of the gun user's friends who have accepted the user's friend request from the app 'Find Friends.'.
