Doesn't that gun not engage the electronic firing mechanism if you don't authenticate via fingerprint? Or am I thinking of a different one?

I'm going to do an edit and link a forgotten weapons video to give it credence. You're correct. I still think someone could easily break the gun away from the holster (including a child), and eventually figure out a way to fire the gun.

Edit: Also, I'm a pro-arms advocate; I also believe in responsible storage and use.

All locks and protection mechanisms can be defeated "eventually."

I agree. That's why there should be as many "complications", as possible. The struggle is making an easily accessible gun, that isn't accessible to others. It's a puzzle.

The only way a gun is safe is by melting it

On DoD approved safes the time to defeat it is listed. If you're willing to make noise you can beat them in as little as 30m.
