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.

Abstract: A firearm security device including a surface mountable frame to which a first plate and a second movable plate are attached. A grip pad is attached to each of the opposing inner sides of the fixed and movable plates. A trigger guard stud is attached to and projects from the inner face of the fixed plate. The movable second plate is movable with respect to the first plate from an open position wherein a firearm is positioned with the trigger guard stud projecting through the trigger guard of the firearm, to a closed position where the movable plate is positioned substantially parallel to the fixed plate and at least a portion of the receiver of the firearm is held in a compressive grip between the grip pads. A lock selectively restricts movement of the second movable plate.
