Abstract
A device for retaining a firearm in a secure and tamper-proof condition comprises a first member adapted to be attached to a substrate (e.g. a surface of a building or of a motor-vehicle), a second member adapted to engage the first member so that said first and second members define between them a cavity to receive a firearm and locking means adapted to lock together said first and second members so that the firearm is retained in the cavity. Preferably, the second member is adapted to be lockably secured to the firearm so as to prevent unauthorised use of the firearm during transit. The invention further provides a firearms security system comprising at least one of said devices.
