Abstract: A gun container designed to receive and secure a firearm such as a handgun, which gun container is characterized by a base portion for receiving and supporting the handgun and a cover designed to fit over the base portion, the cover further provided with fixed pins designed to engage U-shaped pin slots provided in the base, in order to removably secure the cover to the base. Spring-loaded pressure pins are also fitted in the base and are designed to engage pin blocks provided in the cover to facilitate a sequence of downward engagement of the fixed pins in the pin slots, lateral traversal of the fixed pins through the pin slots and a final upward movement of the pins in the pin slots, the upward motion of the fixed pins and cover aided by the bias of the spring-loaded pressure pins, to removably secure the cover on the base.
