ABSTRACT:
A trigger guard device for a firearm that prevents unauthorized access to the trigger mechanism of the firearm. The trigger guard device includes a generally U-shaped element having a first arm and a second arm that extend from a common base. A first area of elastomeric material is coupled to the first arm. Similarly, a second area of elastomeric material coupled to said second arm. The elastomeric material on both arms face across from each other. At least one mechanical fastener is provided for coupling the first arm to the second arm. Each mechanical fastener is preferably of the type that cannot be non-destructively removed once used to couple the first arm to the second arm. The first arm and the second arm are placed on opposite sides of a gun's trigger. The elastomeric material on each of the arms is then compressed against the trigger and the guard frame that surrounds the trigger, thereby securing the trigger in one set position. To remove the device, each mechanical fastener is severed, thereby releasing the side arms of the U-shaped element.
