TAMPER-ACTUATED FLUID RELEASE FIREARM INTERLOCK
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a firearm lock configured to release a self-hardening interlock fluid into a firing chamber of a firearm in response to a predetermined force. In an illustrative example, the firearm lock may include an engagement module configured to releasably couple to a firing chamber of the firearm. In a locked mode, for example, the engagement module may prevent the firearm from firing. The firearm lock may include, for example, a tamper interlock module containing interlock material (IM) in a fluid state. When a predetermined force is applied to the tamper interlock module, for example, the IM may be dispensed from the cavity into the firing chamber and the IM may at least partially transition into a solid state such that the IM prevents the firearm from firing. Various embodiments may advantageously disable a locked firearm in response to tampering with the lock.

Apparatus for firearm safety
An apparatus includes a trigger assembly for initiating a firing of a firearm. The trigger assembly includes a trigger blocking portion. A safety selector lever is configured for joining to the firearm. The safety selector lever has an on position with the safety selector generally in a downward position and accessible to a user's thumb of a hand gripping a grip of the firearm. The safety selector is rotatable by the user's thumb to an off position where the user operates the trigger assembly while maintaining the safety selector in the off position. A safety cam is in engagement with a pivot end of the safety selector. The safety cam is configured for engaging the trigger blocking portion in the on position to inhibit the firing and for engaging the trigger blocking portion in the off position.

LOCKABLE GUN MOUNT
A lockable gun mount features a stock receiver, a trigger block, and a barrel lock. The stock receiver includes a base, sidewalls, a receiving aperture, and one or more fasteners. The trigger block includes a trigger rod and a wall member. The barrel lock includes a wall member, a hinged door coupled to the wall member, and a locking mechanism configured to secure the hinged door to the wall member. In some examples, the barrel lock further includes a biometric sensor. A cumulative force between the stock receiver, the trigger receiver, and the barrel lock prevents the gun from being removed from the lockable gun mount when secured to a wall or flat surface.

DEVICE FOR DRIVING MECHANICAL SAFETY SYSTEMS
A device for driving mechanical safety systems. The device contains a housing in which at least one moving piston is arranged. The piston is connected to a first toothed rack and the first toothed rack is operatively connected to a pinion. A second toothed rack is arranged for movement in the housing. As a result, the second toothed rack is displaced in the opposite direction to the movement of the piston. The device has a locking lever and a shift dog. The shift dog is mounted on the second toothed rack and is arranged such that, on movement of the second toothed rack, the shift dog can actuate the locking lever. A locking bush secures the securing shaft to be driven. The locking bush is initially transferred to an unlocked position on movement of the toothed racks and is returned to a locked position on conclusion of the movement.
