ABSTRACT:
A safety device for preventing unauthorized or accidental use of a gun. The safety device includes a solid body of material, a muzzle end plug and an elongate threaded rod inter-connecting the same. The solid body is sized and shaped to simulate a live cartridge. It has an outwardly directed flange at one end for engaging an end wall surrounding entry into the cartridge chamber of the gun and a threaded bore extending inwardly a selected distance from the opposite end. An O-ring fits into a groove it the solid body and projects outwardly frictionally to engage the inner wall surface-of the gun barrel in the cartridge chamber. The muzzle plug has an outwardly directed flange at one end thereof that engages an outer end of the gun barrel. The muzzle plug has a recess in the outer end face remote from the elongate rod and in a preferred embodiment beyond the recess there is chamfered surface tapering to the extent that the outwardly directed flange has a thin narrow edge that cannot be gripped by pliers or the like. A key has a projection that mates with the recess in the muzzle plug. A pin projects from the key projection and fits into a small recess in the base of the first mentioned plug recess.
