ABSTRACT:
A firearm carrier for safely transporting firearms. The carrier transversely secures the firearm to a user's body while preventing accidental discharges of the firearm. The firearm carrier is particularly well suited for use on an ATV. The firearm carrier safely, temporarily attaches the firearm to the user's waist in a safe, stable transport configuration. The firearm carrier may also be used as a temporary shoulder sling. The firearm carrier comprises an elongated, adjustable belt that fits around the waist of the user. A quick release buckle system facilitates belt removal. A pair of spaced apart straps project downwardly from the belt. Preferably, the straps project downwardly along the front of the user's legs. Each strap extends to a terminal end. An intermediary leg projects from each strap. Preferably, the straps are appropriately covered by a hook and pile fasteners. The straps encircle the gun during deployment, forming a pair of retention loops that secure the gun to the user's waist. To attach the gun to the carrier, the gun is placed against the strap interior and the intermediary leg is looped over the gun. Then the terminal end is placed on top of the intermediary leg and tightly fastened to form a retention loop. A trigger guard system prevents an accidental discharge of the firearm. The trigger guard system optionally attaches to either of the straps about the respective retention loop. The trigger guard system prevents accidental discharge.
