An apparatus for securely storing at least one firearm includes a firearm
shackle having a mounting bracket for secure attachment to a fixed
structure. A secure extension has a secured portion secured to the
mounting bracket and a distant portion movable relative to said mounting
bracket. A clasp has a closed state and an open state with the clasp
sized to securely engage a grip end of a firearm when in the closed state
and to release the grip end when in the open state. The clasp is
connected to the distant portion of the extension for movement therewith.
A releasable lock permits selective shifting of the clasp from the closed
state to the open state. As an additional component, the apparatus may
include a barrel retainer for releasably engaging a barrel end of said
firearm. The secured portion and the distant portion of the extension may
be separated by either a rigid or a flexible separation.
