First Claim
1. A portable safe, comprising:
- a first portion having a first edge, at least one interior surface, and at least one exterior surface;
a second portion having a first edge, at least one interior surface, and at least one exterior surface;
and a barrel pin having a tip, a length and an outer diameter, said barrel pin outer diameter forming a sliding engagement between said barrel pin and a firearm when a firearm barrel is motivated onto said barrel pin;
wherein said first edge of said first portion and said first edge of said second portion are hingedly attached along said first edge of said first portion and said second edge of said second portion, allowing said first portion and said second portion to rotate together about said hinged attachment into a closed position thereby forming an interior volume that is enclosed by said at least one interior surface of said first portion and said at least one interior surface of said second portion, and said rotable attachment allowing said first portion and said second portion to rotate away from one another into an open position thereby exposing said at least one interior surface of said first portion and said at least one interior surface of said second portion;
wherein said barrel pin is attached to an interior surface of either said first portion or said second portion, and said barrel pin is disposed such that a firearm slidingly engaged onto said barrel pin is enclosed within said interior volume when said first portion and said second portion are rotated together into said closed position;
and said barrel pin is disposed such that a firearm slidingly engaged onto said barrel pin is able to be extracted from said barrel pin when said first portion and said second portion are rotated into said open position.

41. A portable safe, comprising:
-
a first portion having a first edge, at least one interior surface, and at least one exterior surface; a second portion having a first edge, at least one interior surface, and at least one exterior surface; wherein said first edge of said first portion and said first edge of said second portion are hingedly attached along said first edge of said first portion and said second edge of said second portion, allowing said first portion and said second portion to rotate together about said hinged attachment into a closed position thereby forming an interior volume that is enclosed by said at least one interior surface of said first portion and said at least one interior surface of said second portion, and said rotable attachment allowing said first portion and said second portion to rotate away from one another into an open position thereby exposing said at least one interior surface of said first portion and said at least one interior surface of said second portion; a latch disposed on a second edge of either of said first portion or said second portion, said latch having a latched position, an unlatched position, and a thumb plate for selecting between said latched position and said unlatched position; wherein said latch prevents said first portion and said second portion from rotating away from one another into an open position when said first portion and said second portion are disposed in said closed position and said latch is disposed in said latched position; wherein said latch allows said first portion and said second portion to rotate into an open position when said latch is disposed in said unlatched position; and a lock having a locked state and an unlocked state, wherein said lock prevents said latch from being disposed in an unlatched position when said lock is disposed in said locked state, and wherein said lock allows said latch to be disposed in an unlatched position when said lock is disposed in an unlocked state. a controller; a clip disposed on an exterior surface of either of said first portion or said second portion, said clip capable of attachment to exterior receiving structure; at least one remote user data interface in communication with said controller; at least one lighting element disposed visible on or through an exterior surface of either of said first portion or said second portion; at least one electrical switch in communication with said controller for user input to said controller, said electrical switch accessible on or through said exterior surface of either of said first portion or said second portion so that it is able to be manipulated by a user; a battery in communication with said controller and said remote user data interface; and a non-transitory computer readable medium in communication with said controller, said computer readable medium comprising non-transitory computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising; receiving and storing an authorized personal identification code from either said electrical switch or from a remote user through said wireless interface; storing said authorized personal identification code in said non-transitory computer readable medium; receiving command signals from a remote user through said wireless transceiver; commanding said electromechanical lock into a locked state or an unlocked state; transmitting status information to a remote user through said wireless transceiver; receiving a signal from said at least one electrical switch; and commanding said at least one lighting element to illuminate for indicating a status of a portable safe; wherein said lock is further defined as an electromechanical lock in communication with said controller, wherein said electromechanical lock is capable of being commanded into said locked state or said unlocked state by receiving commands from said controller. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75)
