ABSTRACT:
An improved, modular firearm support for retaining firearms in close association to a vehicle ceiling. The support includes a formed metal bracket having orthogonal top and back mounting plates and a pair of padded cradles which are fitted to opposite sides of firearm lock and trigger shroud assemblies. An adjustable lock plate offsets the lock from the back plate to fully seat the firearm at the cradles and trigger shroud. Multiple draw clamps are fitted to the back plate to retain the support to a vehicle support, for example, a roll bar, divider panel or a telescoping support, which spans the vehicle. A slide bracket is also provided at the telescoping vehicle support to vary the mounting location of the firearm support. Alternative shrouds are also disclosed to protect either the trigger or other critical firearm parts.
