I can only see this as a possibly good idea for LEOs. If someone gets your duty pistol, it doesn't work without the LEO watch, so the gun is useless unless it's in the cop's hands. But how often does someone get a cop's gun? How many times would this have to happen to make it worth buying this electronic system for all the police people?

Cops are notably conservative and that is especially true about their firearms. I have a very strong hunch that they'll be a lot more concerned about a "smart" gun NOT working when needed than some perpetrator taking their firearm from them. Fact is that "Secure" holsters have proven to be both inexpensive and effective.
Hopefully this company won't be able to make one single public sale of this "smart" gun. Because it's a theoretical technology that just needs to go away.
