a receptacle having an open interior and present within the interior of the housing;
a locking device associated with the interior of the receptacle for engaging an insertable structure that is attachable to, attached to or forms part of a firearm, the locking device including a locking mechanism having a first position which engages the insertable structure to securely hold it in place within the receptacle and a second position wherein the locking mechanism is out of engagement with the insertable structure, the locking mechanism comprising male or female portions one of which is present in the receptacle and the other of which is associated with or forms part of the insertable structure;
biasing means for fixing the locking mechanism in the first position; and
means for overriding the biasing means to move the locking mechanism to the second position;
wherein the housing receives the receptacle as a drawer that can slide into the housing, and wherein the sliding of the receptacle completely into the housing causes the means for overriding the biasing means to disengage the locking mechanism from the insertable structure and further wherein the sliding removal of the receptacle from the housing locks the insertable structure in the drawer;
wherein the insertable structure can be freely removed from or inserted into the locking mechanism, wherein the receptacle is rectangular in shape, one of the outer components of the housing includes a door for access to the receptacle interior.
