Patent attributes
A firearm locking system includes a magazine plug assembly and a locking bracket. The magazine plug assembly has an outer body configured to fit within a magazine well of a firearm and includes a locking plate and a locking mechanism both partially contained within the outer body. The locking mechanism includes a locking bar configured to partially extend into a barrel of the firearm when an actuatable end of the locking bar is pressed upon by a base panel of the locking bracket. This action occurs when the locking bracket is secured to the base of the magazine plug assembly by inserting an external portion of the locking plate into a cooperatively sized slot within the locking bracket and then inserting a padlock shackle into an opening within the external portion of the locking plate.
