PITTSBURGH, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "After hearing that 393 firearms had been stolen from vehicles in Nashville in 2023, I wanted to create an innovative way to locate a lost or stolen firearm to help prevent it from being used in crimes against regular civilians," said an inventor, from Nashville, Tenn., "so I invented the GPS PLUG. This invention could help track lost or stolen firearms for recovery. If implemented on a government level, it could be used to locate law enforcement weapons and even downed officers, giving them a better chance of survival."

The patent-pending invention provides a GPS location reporting device for short and long barrel firearm applications. In doing so, it would determine the location of a firearm. As a result, it increases accuracy, and it allows the owner to track and/or notify local law enforcement of a missing/stolen weapon. It also can locate law enforcement weapons if used at a government level. The invention features an innovative design that is easy to apply and use so it is ideal for the owners of short and long barrel firearms, government, etc.

The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
