## Abstract

A magnetic firearm support includes a base, at least one magnet in the base and a firearm cradle having a firearm space carried by the base.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A magnetic firearm support, comprising:
a base having a base sidewall, a base panel carried by the base sidewall, a base interior defined by the base sidewall and the base panel, and a geometric center;
a pair of magnet holder attachments extending from the base sidewall into the base interior;
a pair of spaced apart ring-shaped magnet holders carried by the magnet holder attachments;
a first and second magnet carried by the magnet holders respectively and located on opposite sides of the geometric center of the base;
a firearm cradle having a firearm space carried by the base panel of the base, the firearm cradle having a firearm support member extending from the base and a firearm retaining member carried by the firearm support member; and
said firearm support member having a longitudinal axis which is axially aligned with the first magnet.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The magnetic firearm support of claim 1 wherein the firearm cradle comprises a firearm support member carried by the base panel of the base and a firearm retaining member carried by the firearm support member.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The magnetic firearm support of claim 2 wherein the firearm support member is generally perpendicular to the base and the firearm retaining member is generally perpendicular to the firearm support member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The magnetic firearm support of claim 2 wherein the firearm support member of the firearm cradle is offset with respect to a geometric center of the base.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The magnetic firearm support of claim 1 further comprising a slip-resistant base cover carried by the base.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The magnetic firearm support of claim 1 wherein the at least one magnet comprises a pair of spaced-apart magnets.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The magnetic firearm support of claim 1 wherein the base sidewall of the base is generally cylindrical.

### Claim 8

A magnetic firearm support, comprising:
a base having a base sidewall, a base panel carried by the sidewall and a base interior defined by the base sidewall and the base panel, the base having a geometric center;
a pair of magnet holder attachments extending from the base sidewall into the base interior on opposite sides of the geometric center of the base;
a pair of spaced-apart ring-shaped magnet holders carried by the magnet holder attachments, respectively;
a magnet holder connector connecting the magnet holders;
a first magnet and a second magnet carried by the magnet holders, respectively; and
a firearm cradle including:
a generally elongated firearm support member having a proximal support end carried by the base panel of the base and a distal support end opposite the proximal support end, the firearm support member having a longitudinal axis generally aligned with the first magnet in the base;
a generally elongated firearm retaining member having a proximal retainer end carried by the distal support end of the firearm support member and a distal retainer end spaced-apart from the proximal retainer end; and
a firearm space defined by and between the base panel of the base and the firearm support member and the firearm retaining member of the firearm cradle.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The magnetic firearm support of claim 8 wherein the firearm support member is generally perpendicular to the base panel of the base and the firearm retaining member is generally perpendicular to the firearm support member.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The magnetic firearm support of claim 8 further comprising a slip-resistant base cover carried by the base.
