GunAlert hit the market this summer. It’s a GPS tracking system designed to detect unauthorized movement, alert the user within seconds and aid them in recovering the firearm swiftly. “What we’re trying to do — we know that guns are out there, we’re trying to make it easy for people to secure their guns and get notified if they move,” said co-creator Tom Lehn. Gun Alert is a GPS tracking system designed to help gun owners protect their firearms from loss, theft or unauthorized use.

Unpacking the Alarming Rise in School Gun Incidents and MetAlert’s Contribution to Safety

In recent years, America’s schools have been grappling with an unsettling trend: an alarming increase in gun-related incidents on campuses across the nation. The 2022-2023 school year witnessed more than 1,150 guns discovered and seized in K-12 schools, with news reports shedding light on this deeply concerning issue. This statistic translates to an average of over six guns found each day within the educational institutions that are meant to be safe havens for our children. The Shocking Reality In countless instances, guns have been uncovered in the most unexpected places – bookbags, lockers, trash cans, bathrooms, cars, pockets, purses, and even hidden above bathroom ceiling tiles.
