Firearm Safety Device and Rack Incorporating Safety Device

A firearm safety rack for use with a firearm, the firearm having a receiver having an action providing a firing mechanism configured for firing a projectile through a barrel attached to the receiver, the action and barrel defining a longitudinal axis of the firearm, and a trigger configured to actuate the firing mechanism, the trigger extending from the action and defining a trigger longitudinal axis generally perpendicular to the longitudinal firearm axis, wherein application of a force to said trigger generally parallel to said firearm longitudinal axis actuates the action of the firearm, the receiver further comprising a trigger guard positioned beneath said trigger and extending generally parallel to the depression force required to depress the trigger, wherein the safety rack comprising:

• a receiver support, said receiver support comprising a receiver support body configured for supporting a receiver of a long firearm, said receiver support body comprising a bolt extending from said receiver support body and defining a bolt longitudinal axis, wherein said bolt is configured for positioning through an opening in a trigger guard of a firearm positioned opposite the action of the firearm from the trigger of the firearm and extending horizontally to said trigger guard generally parallel to a direction of pull of said trigger, said bolt configured to extend through the opening of the trigger guard into a depression space behind said trigger to prevent depression of said trigger;
• a pin extending from said body in a direction generally perpendicular to said bolt, wherein said pin is configured for insertion into a grip of the lower receiver to prevent rotation and/or lifting of the stock of the firearm when the firearm is positioned on the rack;
• and
• a front support, wherein said front support is configured to support the firearm at a position on the firearm toward the end of the barrel of the firearm.
