There are tons of ways to safely store a firearm that mitigate the "where is it" objection, all of them cheaper and safer than buying a new gun of debatable reliability. I have yet to test this but I believe the grip safety of a 1911 or the standard safety lever on a modern pistol would thwart a toddler as well. Teenager not so much. Again, this is a solution in search of a problem.

  As is on the smart electronics, which are liable to fail when they shouldn't and won't stop a criminal either way. See, there is a reason why a dead man's switch is as simple as possible and completely not remote. Anything remote can and will fail sometimes. If it would be a local switch it would be way more trustworthy in my eyes.
