  • Handgun safety aid
    Patent number: 5108019
    Abstract: A mechanism for storing a hand gun and preventing its unauthorized use. A gun holster has a flexible strap that can be latched to the holster in a position extending over the hammer portion of the gun. When the strap is drawn away from the holster (prior to removal of the gun) an electrical circuit is broken, thereby triggering a battery-operated alarm on the holster. A key-operated lockout switch is provided to enable the gun owner to remove the gun without generating an alarm signal.
