ABSTRACT:
A security rack for weapons includes a housing having an aperture. An elongated slide bar is longitudinally slidably mounted to the housing for movement between an open position and a closed position. The slide bar includes an aperture which is selectively alignable with the housing aperture in the slide bar open position. A locking pin includes a shaft having first and second ends. The first end includes structure for engaging the weapon and the second end passes through the housing aperture and the slide bar aperture when these apertures are aligned in the slide bar open position. The shaft second end includes a notch for engaging the slide bar aperture when the housing aperture and slide bar aperture are misaligned in the closed position to thereby prevent removal of the locking pin from the housing. A locking device engages the slide bar and is accessible through the housing for moving the slide bar between the open and closed positions, thereby allowing insertion and removal of the locking pin from the housing in the open position and locking of the locking pin to the slide bar in the closed position thereby preventing removal of the weapon from the security rack.
