A locking assembly for substantially securing an object to a wall, the locking assembly comprising:

• a sleeve including:
• a body;
• an axial bore extending through the body, the axial bore having a internal fastener assembly contact surface;
• and
• at least one opening through the body, the at least one opening configured for receipt of a portion of a lock;
• and
• a fastening assembly capable of extending through the sleeve and into engagement with a wall, the fastening assembly including:
• a collar having an axial bore mating surface;
• a threaded fastener having a tool engagement region and a wall engagement region;
• wherein the internal fastener assembly contact surface of the sleeve and the axial bore mating surface of the collar interface to facilitate rotative and pivotable movement of the sleeve relative to the fastening assembly, and to, in turn, preclude the retained movement of the fastening assembly with rotation of the sleeve.

A combination firearm and locking assembly for substantially securing the firearm to a wall comprising:

• a firearm having a trigger guard;
• a sleeve extending through the trigger guard, the sleeve including:
• a body;
• an axial bore extending through the body, the axial bore having a internal fastener assembly contact surface;
• and
• at least one opening through the body;
• a fastening assembly extending through the sleeve and into engagement with a wall, the fastening assembly including:
• a collar having an axial bore mating surface;
• a threaded fastener having a tool engagement region and a wall engagement region;
• and
• a lock having a portion which is positioned through the at least one opening in the body,
• wherein the internal fastener assembly contact surface of the sleeve and the axial bore mating surface of the collar interface to facilitate rotative and pivotable movement of the sleeve relative to the fastening assembly, and to, in turn, preclude the retained movement of the fastening assembly with rotation of the sleeve.
