ABSTRACT:
A pseudo lock gun trigger blocking structure deterring children and uninformed adults from being able to work the trigger and shoot a handgun, rifle or shotgun. A pseudo key member that has the outward appearance of a lock key tumbler is mounted in a first block half to extend to the interior thereof with an opening therethrough having buttress thread engaging grooves on the back side of the opening. The pseudo key member is resiliently biased by an internal spring to an outer position but is resiliently pushable inwardly to an inwardmost position when permitted by a blocking pin being pushed in to an unblocking position against the resilient bias of a spring to permit movement of the pseudo key member to its innermost position. A second block half mounts a pin locking rod that is fixed in its mounting and provided with buttress threads on the outer end insertable into an opening in the first block half where it is captured by engagement with the grooves on the back side of the opening in the extension of the pseudo key member. Release is accomplished when the pseudo key member is pushed to the innermost position. Pins adjustable positioned to prevent operation of a gun trigger extend from the second block half to the first block half.
