Claim Text:
1. A locking device for firearms for enabling releasable locking by blocking or interrupting a triggering mechanism of a firearm, the locking device comprising: a locking unit arranged on the firearm, wherein the locking unit comprises at least one locking mechanism, and a release element embodied as separate from the firearm, the locking unit further featuring at least one activation element that is actuable by a user, wherein the activation element is coupled with the triggering mechanism of the firearm in such a way that when the activation element is in a locked position or in a locked mode, the triggering mechanism for firing a shot is blocked, and when the activation element is in an active position or in an active mode, the triggering mechanism is releasable, and wherein, when the locking mechanism is in a locking mode, the activation element is blocked from moving or being moved from the locked position or the locked mode to the active position or the active mode, and wherein the locking mechanism has a locking mechanism coupling region and wherein the release element features a release element coupling region that corresponds to said release element, and wherein when the locking mechanism coupling region and the release element coupling region are coupled, the locking mechanism switches from the locking mode to the release mode, so that, for the duration of the release mode, the activation element is movable by the user from the locked position or locked mode which blocks or interrupts the triggering mechanism of the firearm to an active position or active mode which releases the triggering mechanism of the firearm, wherein the release element is arranged in an unlocking unit that is separable from the firearm, wherein the release element is fixed to or integrated in the unlocking unit, wherein the unlocking unit can be a holster or storage container or support device, in which the firearm is at least partially insertable, by which thus rendering the firearm impossible to fire as long as the release element is contacting the locking unit, which leads to the locking mechanism coupling region and the release element coupling region being coupled, but only after separating the coupling of the locking mechanism coupling region and the release element coupling region and therefore separating the unlocking unit and the release element from the locking unit the firearm can be used, wherein:
