Abstract

A new portable or mountable gun case device and method for safely storing one of a variety of loaded and unloaded firearms. The gun case includes a child-resistant latching mechanism. A lockable case that protects children from senseless handgun accidents, yet allows quick access to a handgun to protect a family in an emergency. The unique case design allows mounting beside the bed, under a desk or counter, in a car, truck or RV, and in the wall (behind a picture) with optional pivoting wall bracket. The handgun case can be recessed in a wall behind a picture. Each case includes holster that adjusts to every gun size. The unique drop-down door delivers a gun the same way every time: safely pointed down. The case has unique safety and convenience features and options.
