ABSTRACT:
A gun rack includes first and second laterally spaced, upright supporting members for wall attachment. A plurality of gun barrel support brackets are attached to the first support member, and a corresponding plurality of lockable firearm retaining structures are attached to the second support member. Each lockable firearm retaining structure includes a pivotable locking plate having a narrow, straight-sided passage extending inwardly from one side of the locking plate to a circular aperture whose diameter is greater than the passage width; and a rotatable locking plate retainer pin having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the locking plate aperture and opposing grooves having bottoms forming a straight bar section having a width sufficient to accommodate the width of the narrow passage of the locking plate. Each locking plate retainer pin is rotatably attached to a reciprocally mounted bar within the second support member, and a "Chicago" type lock is attached to the bar. Thus, when firearms are racked with the locking plate retainer pins passing through the trigger guards, the locking plates are pivoted to pass the narrow passage forming walls through the locking plate retainer grooves to position the apertures about the locking plate pins. The lock is then turned ninety degrees driving the bar upward to rotate the locking plate retainer pin grooves out of passage alignment thereby locking the locking plate and firearms to the locking plate retainer pins.
