Locking mechanisms for and methods of securing firearm components in the shoulder stock or butt and/or handgrip of a collapsible firearm. In one example, the locking mechanism may include one or more locking members and a locking mechanism. In another example the locking mechanism may include a cylinder lock. The locking mechanism is configured to secure one or more firearm components in place within a storage compartment of the shoulder stock or butt and/or handgrip of the collapsible firearm, and/or to secure an endcap of the collapsible firearm to the shoulder stock or butt and/or handgrip, thereby rendering the storage compartment a locked container, with the one or more firearm components locked therein.

A weapon security apparatus includes a base member and a gate member pivotably coupled to the base member configured to enclose a portion of a weapon. The apparatus further includes a retractable latch, the retractable latch locking the gate member in the closed position when in a non-retracted state and releasing the gate member when in a retracted state. The apparatus also includes a solenoid configured to retract the retractable latch when activated. The apparatus includes a controller configured to activate the solenoid with a first electrical current for a first period of time during which the retractable latch moves to the retracted position and with a second electrical current for a second period of time during which the retractable latch is held in the retracted position.

A firearm safety system that is operable to inhibit the discharge of a firearm unless the user of the firearm is wearing a mechanical engagement member. The firearm safety system includes a button biasly mounted within the grip of the firearm. The button is movable intermediate a first position and a second position. Operably coupled to the button is a coupling means that is configured to operably couple the button to a sear lever of a firearm. The coupling means includes alternate configurations including cables or shafts that are configured to be movable upon depression of the button. The button is moved by a mechanical engagement member. The mechanical engagement member is a metal ring worn on the finger of the hand engaged with the grip of the firearm. As the mechanical engagement member depresses the button, the sear lever is moved so as to permit discharge of the firearm.

A device for controlling access to a firearm having a barrel with various physical features proximal thereto, including a muzzle device. The device includes a lock housing with a cavity to receive the barrel. The device also includes a lock mechanism shaft coupled to a lock mechanism that is configured for rotational movement upon actuation of the lock mechanism. The lock mechanism shaft is coupled to a cam that moves axially upon rotation of the lock mechanism shaft. A bidirectional rotatable shaft is coupled to the cam and is insertable into the barrel of the firearm. Embodiments described include variants on the use of a plurality of tabs such as arm, tab, and/or housing configurations to receive and grasp the muzzle device, firearm fixed front sights, bead front sights and/or accessories such as, for example, Picatinny rails, vertical or near vertical serrations, cuts and/or grooves located on the distal lateral and ventral regions of the frame and/or slide.

This invention relates to an adjustable gun lock wherein a fan-like mechanism blocks the trigger of the gun and is adjustable to fit a wide variety of firearms.
