ABSTRACT:
A gun rack (80; 84) is provided for storing and displaying a plurality of firearms (68). The gun rack includes a substantially rectangular frame (10; 130) having a plurality of laterally spaced uprights (12 and 14; 132 and 134) and a plurality of vertically spaced crossbars (16, 18 and 20; 136, 138 and 140) spanning between the uprights. The frame is attachable to a vertical mounting surface, such as a wall. A relatively flat panel member (64; 178) is adapted for attachment to the frame, to substantially cover the frame and prevent the frame from being detached from the mounting surface. The frame further includes a plurality of first support pins (60) spaced vertically along one of the uprights and a plurality of second support pins (62) spaced vertically along the other upright. The support pins are adapted to support guns in a substantially horizontal position. First and second locking bars (84 and 86; 188 and 190) are secured to the frame (10; 130) by means of locking devices (100) to prevent removal of the guns mounted on the frame. The locking bars are positionable to cover respective end portions of the first and second support pins, thereby preventing removal of the guns. In one embodiment, the locking bars 188 and 190 have C-channel beams (200, 202, 204 and 206) projecting laterally from respective opposed ends of the locking bars for receiving the locking devices to prevent unauthorized access thereto.
