A person could shield a chip or remove a chip from a transported firearm, but they would be facing a mandatory prison sentence. This would be an intentional act, and tough sentencing laws would deter most planned crimes, but most certainly would make a huge difference in spontaneous crime. It is going to take some time to bypass a chipped or biometric trigger locked gun.....currently there are few mandatory jail sentences for first time offenders with no criminal record who do not have a foid card......this would be mandatory sentences on first time offenders, and intentional bypassing of chips or biometric triggers would be increased mandatory time.
Folks who have blown up at a spouse....this guy had a domestic violence order out on him, are usually caught up in the heat of the moment, and by his behavior he confirms the same. In a rational and calm state he is going to have to remove the chip.....however, in this situation this could have been a legal gun, a legal foid, which would have allowed him to drive the car.....but once a domestic order goes into the system....his car would not start if his licensed weapon was in the vehicle. This is not rocket science.....we have the technical capability to stop most of these crimes proactively, and do not need a police state, or folks shooting at us on the roads because they do not like our driving.
