Abstract

A lockable gun mount features a stock receiver, a trigger block, and a barrel lock. The stock receiver includes a base, sidewalls, a receiving aperture, and one or more fasteners. The trigger block includes a trigger rod and a wall member. The barrel lock includes a wall member, a hinged door coupled to the wall member, and a locking mechanism configured to secure the hinged door to the wall member. In some examples, the barrel lock further includes a biometric sensor. A cumulative force between the stock receiver, the trigger receiver, and the barrel lock prevents the gun from being removed from the lockable gun mount when secured to a wall or flat surface.

Claims (15)

1 . A lockable gun mount, comprising: a stock receiver configured to receive a stock of a gun, the stock receiver comprising sidewalls and securable to a surface at a first location, the sidewalls comprising a slot configured to enable a user to insert or remove fasteners through the stock receiver and into the surface; a trigger block securable to the surface at a second location, the trigger block configured to prevent a trigger of the gun from being actuated; and a barrel lock securable to the surface at a third location, the barrel lock comprising a wall member comprising a barrel aperture and a hinged door coupled to the wall member, the hinged door configured to secure a barrel within the barrel aperture of the wall member when closed, the barrel lock comprising a locking mechanism for selectively locking or releasing the hinged door to thereby lock or release the barrel in the barrel lock, wherein the locking mechanism of the barrel lock further comprises a biometric sensor.
2 . The lockable gun mount of claim 1 , wherein the stock receiver comprises a base, the sidewalls extending upwardly from the base, and a receiving aperture circumscribed by the sidewalls.
3 . The lockable gun mount of claim 1 , wherein the stock receiver comprises a bracket and a housing couplable to the bracket.
4 . The lockable gun mount of claim 1 , wherein the trigger block comprises a wall member, a receiving aperture, and a cap couplable to the wall member, the cap configured to conceal the receiving aperture.
5 . The lockable gun mount of claim 1 , wherein the trigger block comprises a base plate, a fixed trigger protrusion, a sliding channel, and an adjustable trigger rod slidable in the sliding channel.
6 . The lockable gun mount of claim 1 , wherein the barrel lock comprises: a wall member comprising a barrel aperture; and a hinged door coupled to the wall member, the hinged door configured to secure the barrel within the barrel aperture of the wall member when closed.
7 . The lockable gun mount of claim 1 , further comprising fasteners couplable to the stock receiver, the trigger block, and the barrel lock, configured to secure the lockable gun mount to the surface.
8 . The lockable gun mount of claim 1 , wherein the stock receiver comprises a backing and a rim, wherein the rim is shorter in height than the backing, enabling a user to insert or remove fasteners through the backing and into the surface.
9 . The lockable gun mount of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism of the barrel lock is actuatable using a key, a pin code, or a keycard.
10 . The lockable gun mount of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism of the barrel lock is configured to actuate using a software application on a user's personal electronic device.
11 . A lockable gun mount, comprising: a stock receiver configured to receive the stock of a gun, the stock receiver comprising: a bracket comprising a surface plate and a receiving plate, and a housing configured to couple to the receiving plate of the bracket; a trigger block configured to prevent a trigger of the gun from being actuated, the trigger block comprising: a wall member, a fixed trigger protrusion receivable within a trigger guard of the gun on a first side of the trigger, and a trigger rod on a second side of the trigger; and a barrel lock configured to accommodate a barrel of the gun, the barrel lock comprising: a wall member, a hinged door coupled to the wall member, and a locking mechanism configured to secure the hinged door to the wall member.
12 . The lockable gun mount of claim 11 , wherein the trigger block further comprises a sliding channel and wherein the trigger rod is configured to slide within the sliding channel to a user-desired position.
13 . The lockable gun mount of claim 11 , wherein the locking mechanism of the barrel lock further comprises a biometric sensor.
14 . The lockable gun mount of claim 11 , wherein the locking mechanism of the barrel lock is actuatable using a key, a pin code, or a keycard.
15 . The lockable gun mount of claim 11 , wherein the locking mechanism of the barrel lock is configured to actuate using a software application on a user's personal electronic device.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 63/307,756, filed on Feb. 8, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to gun mounts and safes. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a lockable gun mount securable to a wall or other surface. BACKGROUND Gun owners have an unfulfilled need to access their gun quickly, yet still have the gun in a secure and safe location when not in use. With the increase in gun related incidents each year, this dichotomy between accessibility and safety has become a fundamental concern. Although there are several common methods for securing guns when not in use, each of these methods render the gun inaccessible for self-defense and quick general-purpose access. For example, gun safes, trigger locks, and bolt locks each require time to locate the gun and remove safety devices. Alternative methods, such as disassembly of the gun or separation of the ammunition from the gun, are similarly impractical in time-sensitive situations such as a home invasion. In contrast, a user who desires to keep a weapon loaded and accessible without security precautions assumes several risks, including theft, accidental discharge, or use by an unwanted individual such as a trespasser or a family member. Accordingly, there is a need for a lockable gun mount that allows the gun to be kept loaded and accessible, yet safely secured to prevent unwanted use or theft. The lockable gun mount disclosed herein solves these needs and others. SUMMARY OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS In some embodiments, a lockable gun mount comprises a stock receiver, a trigger block, and a barrel lock. The stock receiver may comprise a base, a plurality of sidewalls, a receiving aperture, a slot, and one or more fasteners. The trigger block may comprise a trigger lock and a wall member having a receiving aperture and a cap. The barrel lock may comprise a wall member, a hinged door coupled to the wall member, and a locking mechanism configured to secure the hinged door to the wall member. In some embodiments, the barrel lock further comprises a biometric lock, key locks, pin code locks, combination locks, or other locking mechanisms. In some embodiments, a wall member comprises a fixed trigger block, a sliding channel, and an adjustable trigger block configured to move along the sliding channel to an appropriate fitting for various types and models of guns.
