ABSTRACT:
A weapon safety locking apparatus that has a flexible, longitudinally adjustable, locking rod, a chamber insert connected to one end of the rod and a breech block connected to the chamber insert. The apparatus has a locking means to lock the rod within the barrel of a weapon and a plurality of locking knuckles on the rod that the locking means grips when the locking means is in locking engagement with the rod. There is a muzzle cap an a chamber insert that have a tapered end to enable the apparatus to be used on various sizes of firearms. The locking rod, muzzle cap and chamber insert are made of a plastic material. The plastic material of the muzzle cap and the chamber insert has a surface with a low surface hardness to protect the muzzle and the chamber. The plastic material of the muzzle cap is elastically deformable and will return to its originally formed shape. The rod is inserted into the chamber and through the bore of the barrel. The part of the rod extending beyond the barrel receives the locking means. Once the rod is inserted into the bore and the locking means is locked to the rod, the muzzle cap and the chamber insert limit access to the bore of the barrel, help prevent the weapon from being loaded and reduce the chance of unauthorized firing of the weapon.
