Could the government monitor you through your handgun?

I remember reading about this a few years ago with HK and some glocks (IE: LEO agency Glocks); basically inventory control, only readable within a few inches. There are numerous articles floating around the interwebz on the topic

Kind of what I’m thinking.

RFID range is very limited

I doubt it’s true.

Smells like inter web hoax

No sir. I did not get it from the “inter web”. I got it directly from the man I quoted in the OP.

Want more proof?

It’s possible if the reader were strong enough.

Think it also depends on the freq used

Probably. I’ve expended all my knowledge on the subject.......and ain’t 100% on what I “know”!

rfid chips have a very limited range. I wouldn't worry about it, but I would dremel the rfid chip out.

Ok.....

Pics of one on a Glock?

And once again, the range is very small. Like less than 3 ft.

Me too....

But I’ve never seen one on any Glock. Mine are not new, so it could just be the last couple of years’ production

Odds are you wouldn't see it. It could be contained within the polymer and still function just fine.

Put it on a plane to Japan and really fuck with them.

There is only one real way to know for sure. Tear that shit open. Make sure you record it so we can see.

Shared with permission from an unnamed friend that knows his stuff:

“First, let me say I am not a huge conspiracy guy. Second, I do believe that government can become abusive and intrusive.

So what does that have to do with a Glock 19? How many you knew that every Glock has a RFID chip embedded in the frame? It is used for inventory control.

However, what would happen if at major traffic checkpoints, there was a RFID scanner. So you are crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. The scanner reads the chip on your favorite Glock. That is then us as probable cause for a stop and a search.

Just a thought. This is not fantasy. Glock confirmed the presence of the chip when I visited their plant a few months ago.

Thoughts?”

get me an older glock or new old frame. not that I would want another, but WOW

I do believe the reading distance is quite far depending on the chip . EZ pass and toll roads use RFID to read your pass in the car in some states. Think of distance there.

 

[Shemp]

I’m pretty sure none of my 1911’s have an RFID chip.

neither do rocks

That's scary shit.
