ABSTRACT:
A trigger safety lock for guns comprises a rigid plug, typically made of aluminum or rigid plastic, designed with a central portion configured to frictionally fit into the space between the rear of the trigger of the gun and the trigger guard. The plug prevents depression of the trigger to fire the gun. The plug has an ejector extension on one side of the central portion, which extends laterally beyond the trigger guard for engagement by a user to force the plug out of the space behind the trigger. The dimensions of the extension are such that it freely passes through the space. The ejector extension has a hole through it for receiving a locking device to positively lock the trigger when the gun is in storage. A flange on the opposite side of the central portion of the plug overlaps at least part of the trigger or trigger guard and engages the trigger or trigger guard when the central portion is located in the space behind the trigger.
