A firearm safety locking device provided as a housing compartment with a door, within which a firearm may be stored. The door is hinged over the housing compartment and may be locked, blocking access to the firearm trigger. The locking device is provided as a removable lock in the door, to enable quick and easy substitution with another lock. A firearm issued to an individual may be associated with a personally issued lock, and when that firearm is removed, a different lock may be inserted for securing a different firearm which has been issued to a different individual. When used to store an automatic rifle, the housing compartment conceals the cartridge magazine, so that the rifle may be stored in a loaded fashion, ready for immediate use. The housing compartment may be mounted on a wall by mounting hardware concealed within the compartment. In one embodiment, the housing is box-like and has replaceable sides each formed with a cutout matching the firearm shape, so as to be adaptable to many types of firearms. In another embodiment, the housing is provided as a hinged cage having security bars extending therefrom, to secure the firearm portions which protrude from the housing, insuring overall design safety. The firearm safety locking device has many applications, in temporary installations, security outposts, military bases, and on ships, airplanes, etc. <IMAGE> |
