Abstract
A block made of a resilient material is molded to conform to the inner perimeter of a gun trigger guard. The trigger is held in a depressed state when the block is inserted. The block has flexible flanges formed on both sides which partially extend around the trigger guard and the depressed trigger to hold the block in place. At the approximate center, where the undepressed trigger would normally be, a simulated trigger is formed so as to appear to be part of the weapon. The trigger block is colored so it appears to be part of the weapon.
