In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing video shooting guns and personal safety management applications. An exemplary personal safety device may include, for example, a processor and a memory to execute instructions; a rechargeable battery to electrically power the personal safety device; a front facing video camera to capture video data of a scene anterior to a front face of the personal safety device; a rear facing video camera to capture video data of a scene posterior to a rear of the personal safety device; an audio capture device to capture audio data from an environment within which the personal safety device is to operate; a trigger to initiate recording of the front facing video camera, the rear facing video camera, and the audio capture device when triggered by an operator of the personal safety device; and a transceiver to transmit the recorded video data from the front and rear cameras and the captured audio data to a remote location over a network. According to another embodiment, a holster operates in conjunction with a body camera to activate audio and video capture and streaming upon removal of a firearm from the holster. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

This invention is characterized by its appearance as a bracelet or a wrist watch, for example. The distinctive features of this device are its micro size, stealth-ness, and light weight. The object of this invention is to a provide state-of-the-art personal protection in two forms, a firearm and a knife, both of which are totally concealable even if the wearer is not wearing clothes. They are both instantly available and easily deployed to protect oneself from an imminent threat.

A tool. A firearm, a blade and an ancillary device are disposed within or on the tool. The firearm comprises a barrel through which a bullet passes to exit the firearm, a firing pin moveable to a firing position by operation of a firing pin control, a firing pin lock retaining the firing pin in the firing position when in the locked position, a biasing member for applying a force to the firing pin with the firing pin restrained against the force by the locked position of the firing pin lock. A trigger releases the firing pin lock from the locked position, such that the force causes the firing pin to strike the charge proximate the bullet. The bullet then exits the barrel.

A compact firearm has a frame including a barrel defining a chamber, the frame being movable between a closed condition in which the firearm is operable to discharge a cartridge in the chamber, and an open condition in which the chamber is open for loading, a latch movable between a latched condition to retain the frame in the closed condition, and an unlatched condition to enable movement of the frame to the open condition, a firing mechanism connected to the frame and operable in response to actuation to discharge the cartridge in the chamber, and a trigger element operably connected to the firing mechanism to selectably actuate the firing mechanism, and operably connected to the latch to move the latch to the unlatched condition. The trigger element may be operable to selectably actuate the firing mechanism in response to movement in a first direction.

A self-defense device with a body, a gun barrel, a trigger assembly, at least one forward light, and a switch is disclosed. The body is held by a human hand. The gun barrel can be positioned in the body and include an entry port and an exit port. The trigger assembly includes a trigger and a firing pin. The firing pin is moveable to engage a round in the barrel. The light can be exposed on an outer surface of the body. The light is positioned such that light emitted by the light projects forward, along the axis of the barrel. The switch can selectively activate and deactivate the light. The switch and the trigger are positioned close to one another so as to be concurrently engageable by a single human hand.
