Abstract: A firearm security device includes a base assembly, a first plate connected to the base assembly, a retention post attached to the first plate, and a second plate. The first end of the retention post is connected to the first plate and the second end is configured to be inserted into a trigger well of a firearm. The second end includes a forward portion, a rearward portion, and a channel that separates the forward and rearward portions. The channel is configured to receive a firearm trigger. The second plate is moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The firearm security device includes a locking assembly that selectively locks and unlocks the second plate. The retention post is configured to transfer force away from the trigger guard and to the receiver in the event an external force is applied to a firearm locked between the plates.

Abstract: A weapon retention system may include a base assembly, a first plate coupled to the base assembly, and a second plate coupled to the base assembly, where a distance between the plates while the base assembly is in an open state is greater than a distance between the plates while the base assembly is in a closed state, where the first plate and the second plate are configured to retain the weapon between the first plate and the second plate while the base assembly is in the closed state. The system may further include a linear ratchet coupled to the first plate. The system may also include a pistol grip rest coupled to the first plate, where the pistol grip includes a pin configured to engage the linear ratchet for unidirectional adjustment while the pistol grip rest is in a first state.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A system includes a controller in communication with a transmission device. The system further includes a gun rack that includes a locking mechanism. The controller is configured to release the locking mechanism in response to receiving, from the transmission device via modulation on a power wire that powers the controller, a pattern that corresponds to a predetermined pattern.

Abstract: A weapon security apparatus may include a base assembly. The apparatus may further include a first grip plate. The apparatus may also include a second grip plate, the second grip plate moveable between an open position and a closed position relative to the first grip plate, the first grip plate and the second grip plate configured to receive a weapon therebetween and to secure the weapon with a top side of the weapon facing the base assembly.

Abstract: A firearm security apparatus may include a base assembly and a locking assembly having a first plate and a second plate. The second plate may be moveable between an open position and a closed position relative to the first plate. The first plate and the second plate may be configured to receive a weapon therebetween, where the first plate, the second plate, or both have a window defined therein to form a C-shape having a first member that engages the weapon above a grip and having a second member that engages the weapon below the grip when the second plate is in the closed position.
