Vara Safety, a Latham startup that makes a handgun holster that has a biometric lock, has shipped its first batch of orders to customers after quickly selling out its initial supply.
The company was founded by Timmy Oh, a former Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute student from Orange County, Calif., who won a student innovation prize at RPI in 2015 with his idea for the technology.
On Aug. 31, Vara Safety began shipping its first commercial product, called the Reach, a stationary handgun holster with a biometric locking device that sells for $299. The Reach is designed for a gun owner's bed stand or their car, which is where handgun owners often store their firearms.
The timing of the release of the Reach was good for Oh and his company since it came roughly a month after Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a new gun law requiring that gun owners who have children under the age of 16 years old living in the house to have locking devices on the gun or have the gun locked away in a safe.
