Abstract
Disclosed is a tamper proof lockable firearm case having an internal chamber sized and configured to store a firearm. The case has a door which may be opened responsive to unlocking a computer controlled lock. The lock actuator consists of depressions in the case corresponding to fingers of the user's hand, with each depression having an actuator button. Depressing a sequence of buttons including simultaneous and sequential depressions in a pre-programmed sequence results in unlocking of the case and opening of the door to allow access to the firearm. A key lock is also provided in the event of battery failure.
