ABSTRACT:
A firearm security device, to temporarily disable a firearm. The principal components of the device are an anchor, formed of material which may be stretched, which is slightly oversized in relation to the gun barrel bore and chamber diameter; and an extractor, which may be screwed onto one end of the anchor, and is used both for inserting and removing the anchor from the gun barrel and chamber. The extractor also has an actuating rod passing therethrough, which is used to exert stretching force on a shaft passing through the anchor and secured to the opposite end of the anchor, for stretching the anchor longitudinally so as to reduce its diameter sufficiently to allow insertion of the anchor into the firearm barrel and chamber. After the anchor is inserted, with the stretching force applied, the user ceases applying the stretching force, so that the anchor becomes wedged within the barrel and chamber, as it seeks to return to its normal diameter. The extractor is then removed, to leave the firearm in a disarmed state. To arm the weapon, the extractor is again inserted and screwed onto the anchor, and the above-described steps are carried out in reverse order, to remove the anchor and extractor from the barrel and chamber of the weapon.
