An apparatus that safely locks a shotgun within the forward passenger compartment of a vehicle. A gun carrier receives the receiver part of the shotgun and includes an opening that receives the trigger group of the weapon so that when the trigger group is positioned in the opening, the shotgun is properly positioned in the apparatus. The apparatus includes a base member immovably mounted to a passenger seat, and an elongate pivot arm is hingedly secured to the base member. The gun carrier is secured to the distal free end of the pivot arm. Thus, a police office may adjust his or her driver's seat rearwardly or forwardly and the pivot arm follows such movement and does not restrict such movement. The gun carrier may be opened by activating a solenoid through a switch on the dashboard of the vehicle, or, in the alternative, by using a key. Thus, if the solenoid fails for any reason, the officer can still open the gun carrier with the key. The key assembly includes a unique apparatus for overriding a solenoid by driving its plunger into a retracted position.
