ABSTRACT:
A gun container designed to receive and secure a firearm such as a handgun, which gun container is characterized by a base portion for receiving and supporting the handgun and a cover designed to fit over the base portion, the cover further provided with fixed pins designed to engage U-shaped pin slots provided in the base, in order to removably secure the cover to the base. Spring-loaded pressure pins are also fitted in the base and are designed to engage pin blocks provided in the cover to facilitate a sequence of downward engagement of the fixed pins in the pin slots, lateral traversal of the fixed pins through the pin slots and a final upward movement of the pins in the pin slots, the upward motion of the fixed pins and cover aided by the bias of the spring-loaded pressure pins, to removably secure the cover on the base. Removal of the cover from the base is facilitated by reversing the sequence of fixed pin moves by effecting sequential downward, lateral and upward motion of the cover with respect to the base. In a preferred embodiment, oppositely-disposed retainer pins are also spring-loaded in the base at points near the bottom edges of the cover to further increase the difficulty of removing the cover from the base.
