Abstract:
What I claim as my invention is a firearm safety apparatus that prevents a weapon having a firing chamber, muzzle, and a barrel from being fired comprising, in combination:a cylindrical device positioned snuggly in a firearm's open port to prevent the insertion of a live round into said firing chamber;a shell canister sufficient in length to support an elongated canister locking tube with raised rims on each end and when placed into the open port of a firearm, and expanded, prevents the firearm from being discharged;a positioning tab attached to the shell canister which allows the user to place the firearm port block inside the open port to secure the firearm from being fired;a firearm safety apparatus that has a canister spring within the shell canister for traversing the canister locking tube between an expanded locked position and a contracted unlocked position; and the canister locking tube having a raised cap supporting a raised rim to prevent the injection of live ammunition into a firearm-firing chamber;said firearm safety apparatus is designed to fit all open port firearms.
