Handgun storage safe

A handgun securing device, said device including:

• a shroud adapted for selectively containing at least a portion of a handgun therein;
• an ejector mechanism associated with the shroud and operable to selectively move a handgun from a retained position to a released position;
• a retainer mechanism associated with the shroud and operable to selectively retain at least a portion of a handgun within the shroud, said retainer mechanism including a retainer portion pivotally mounted in the shroud and being selectively movable between a handgun retaining position and a handgun release position into and out of a handgun trigger guard respectively, said retainer mechanism including a latch portion;
• and
• an activator mechanism associated with the retainer mechanism, said activator including an electrically driven device operable to selectively effect release of the retainer portion to move from its handgun retaining position to its handgun release position, said activator mechanism including a locking member coupling the electrically driven device to the retainer mechanism and operable to releasably retain the retainer portion in its handgun retaining position, said locking member being mounted for pivoting movement in the shroud and having a sear adjacent one end thereof, said sear being selectively engageable with said latch portion and in cooperation with the electrically driven device providing locking mechanical engagement to positively prevent movement of the retainer portion when in its retaining position until pivoting movement of the locking member by the electrically driven device.
