ABSTRACT:
A storage device provides for the secure storage of a gun in a vehicle, includes a rectangular base plate and a box-like cover having a rectangular top and sidewalls that form a chamber for storing a gun. The sidewalls enclose a rectangular area that corresponds substantially to the area of the base plate so that the cover forms a close fit around the base plate, which has a planar central portion joined to and surrounded by upwardly bent elongated edge portions. The base plate and cover each include an aperture, each slightly offset from a center point of the base plate central portion and top cover, respectively, but in vertical alignment with each other and with an aperture formed by the trigger guard of a gun stored in the device. The storage device also includes a rotatable pin that is sized to pass through the apertures in the base plate and cover and through the trigger guard of a gun stored in the device. At its plate end, the pin is provided with a base large enough to prevent its passage through the aperture in the plate. The pin is inserted in the plate aperture and extends through the trigger guard of a gun in the storage chamber and through the aperture in the cover. At its cover end, the pin has a transverse bore that accommodates the shank of a portable lock. Locking the lock in the bore of the pin after it has passed through the plate aperture, trigger guard, and cover aperture secures the gun within the storage device.
