Abstract: The gun storage and rapid removal mount of this invention is for securely retaining a shotgun or the like against unauthorized removal with the mount providing for rapid removal by authorized persons. It comprises a trigger guard cup and a forward lock clamp. The lock clamp engages the barrel and a magazine tube just forward of the shotgun receiver to prevent forward motion of the shotgun in the mount. The trigger guard cup prevents rearward motion. The lock clamp is both lock- and spring-retained. When its lock is released, the gun can be rotated out of the clamp against spring force. The spring also permits reinsertion of the shotgun into position against the spring force.

Abstract: A firearm support rack for use in the passenger compartment of automotive vehicles and which is specifically design to retain firearms have elongate barrels such as rifles and shotguns. The firearms support rack is comprised of a pair of frame sections, one of which is telescopically arranged with respect to the other so that the frame can achieve a selected length to conform to the width of the passenger compartment of the automotive vehicle. A barrel supporting assembly is located on one of the frame sections and a stock supporting assembly is located on the other of the frame sections. The two assemblies are adjustably positionable on the respective frame sections so as to accommodate different sized and types of firearms.
