Skagit County, Wash. (KING) — A Washington man has invented a technological implant to increase gun safety by only allowing one’s gun to unlock if the hand with the implant is nearby.

Graafstra’s company, Dangerous Things, has focused on biohacking for many years and Graafstra himself has implants that unlock his office, his car, and his computers.
