Abstract
Firearm safety devices are described that enable the safe operation, training, storage, display, and transportation of firearms. The firearm safety devices, referred to herein as “safety casing” devices, are configured for easy insertion and removal from a firearm without risk of damage to the firearm. The safety casing devices clearly indicate to those handling and observing the host firearm that the firearm chamber is free or devoid of a live round and thus safe because the firearm cannot be fired. The safety casing devices permit the firearm to be used in training exercises, including dry fire practice, while preventing accidental discharge.
