  • Patent number: 5322200
    Abstract: A metallic storage holster and cable for locking a handgun in place and preventing access to the handgun by unauthorized persons. The cable is welded onto a one side of the storage holster. The non-welded cable end is formed into a loop. The loop is then secured over a "U" latch welded onto the other side of the storage holster. The latch is large enough to allow a lock to be inserted through the eye of the latch once the looped cable end has been fitted. Once the lock is in place, access to the handgun is restricted to the individual able to open the lock. A metallic plate is welded onto one side of the storage holster and holes are cut through both sides of the storage holster to allow lag bolts to be inserted and countersunk though the side with the plate attached thereto. The lag bolts, once in place, are used to mount the storage holster. Once a handgun is locked in place access to the lag bolts from the other side of the storage holster is blocked.
