A security apparatus is proposed for a firearm adapted to fire a non-impact ammunition cartridge, the firearm including a trigger assembly manually actuated by a trigger member and an integrated backstrap module which houses an electronic firing apparatus for generating a firing signal. The security apparatus includes an input device for accepting and storing a plurality of parameter signals indicative of a physical state of the firearm, and a mode setting device for determining and selectively placing the firearm in one of an awake mode, a sleep mode and an authorized mode. The security apparatus further includes an enabling device for evaluating the plurality of said parameter signals and permitting the firing apparatus to generate and communicate the firing signal to the ammunition cartridge only when each of the plurality of parameter signals indicate that said firearm is prepared to fire and the mode device determines that the firearm is in the authorized mode.

1. A security apparatus for a firearm adapted to fire a non-impact ammunition cartridge, said firearm including a trigger assembly manually actuated by a trigger member and an integrated backstrap module which houses an electronic firing apparatus for generating a firing-signal, said security apparatus comprising:an input means for accepting and storing a plurality of parameter signals indicative of a physical state of said firearm; a mode setting means for determining and selectively placing said firearm in one of an awake mode, a sleep mode and an authorized mode; and an enabling means for evaluating said plurality of said parameter signals, thereby permitting said firing apparatus to generate and communicate said firing signal to said ammunition cartridge in response to an actuation of said trigger member only when each of said plurality of parameter signals indicate that said firearm is prepared to fire and said mode setting means determines that said firearm is in said authorized mode.
