A portable camera may be activated in response to the activity of a firearm. Furthermore, an individual who discharged a firearm may be identified. Furthermore, information related to the firing of a firearm may be recorded, assessed, identified and transmitted. Furthermore, the status of an implement at a mount may be monitored. Furthermore, a charging device for delivering electrical power to components of a firearm may be used. A communications channel may be established between a firearm telematics sensor and a video camera, optionally by means of intermediary devices. A communications channel may be established between a mount (e.g., holster) telematics device and local and/or remote monitoring service components, optionally by means of intermediary devices. When the telematics sensor detects that its associated firearm has been removed from a holster, is in motion, or is being discharged, the telematics sensor may signal the video camera to initiate recording.

The invention is a flexible warning band device that fits a variety of firearm sizes and shapes and warns that a firearm may contain a live round

An anti-dry-fire mechanism for a crossbow includes a slotted mainframe and a movable trigger subassembly engaged with the slot for bidirectional movement between brace and drawn positions. The movable subassembly includes a bowstring latch forward of a bowstring catch and biased toward a bolt-absent position in which the bowstring latch obstructs forward movement of the bowstring past the bowstring latch; in its bolt-present position the bowstring latch permits such movement. With the movable subassembly in the drawn position, a bolt loaded onto the mainframe holds the bowstring latch in its bolt-present position against its bias; with the movable subassembly in the drawn position and no bolt loaded, the bowstring latch is held in its bolt-absent position by its bias. With the movable subassembly in the brace position, engagement of the mainframe and bowstring latch holds the bowstring latch in its bolt-present position against its bias.

An improved loading mechanism bug killing gun includes a compressed gas source fluidly connected to a chamber connected to a barrel. A compressed gas release mechanism is connected to the compressed gas source. A projectile storage magazine stores particulate projectiles and is located adjacent the chamber. A projectile loading mechanism moves the projectiles into the chamber from the magazine. A cocking mechanism is mechanically connected to the compressed gas source, the compressed gas release mechanism, and the projectile loading mechanism. When the gun is cocked, the projectile loading mechanism loads a quantity of the projectiles into the chamber. When the compressed gas release mechanism is activated the projectiles are ejected from the chamber into the barrel and expelled from the gun. The gun optionally includes a laser sighting mechanism. The battery operated laser sighting mechanism is removably attached to the barrel or permanently attached with an integral, trigger operated switch.
