A storage safe is especially adapted for storage of hand guns having a substantially parallelepiped shaped exterior body and internal compartment for holding a hand gun in position for grasping ready to fire. Fast access to the gun under emergency conditions is provided by a novel internal spring biased latching mechanism locking the access door closed. The safe may be immediately opened by operating a hidden unlatching trigger from outside the safe and opening the door in an unconventional manner.

[ I claim:] [1.] A safe for storage of a hand gun, comprising in combination:a substantially parallelepiped gun storage body being adapted with a hollow interior compartment for retaining a hand gun in a position for removal through an access door thereinto in the grasp of a hand in a ready to use posture,an access door for said compartment substantially comprising a rectangular panel of predetermined thickness,a mounting arrangement comprising an outer rim about the access door overlying the door panel to constitute therewith an outer closure surface for said body,said outer rim further comprising closure means as a framework confining said door panel substantially laterally in an immovable framing position against said outer rim,opening means comprising interior grooves inside said compartment surrounding the door panel and dimensioned for holding the panel snugly in place behind the outer rim while prohibiting lateral movement of the door panel in a closure mode and for permitting the door panel to move inwardly in an opening mode to escape from the immovable framing position against said outer rim,an opening slot in a side wall of said compartment below said outer rim for mating with said one edge of the door panel in the opening mode, said slot being of a size permitting the door panel to pass laterally therethrough to extend at least partly out of the compartment thus permitting access to said hollow interior cavity,said opening means grooves further being constructed to converge away from said rim inwardly toward said one edge of the door panel adjacent the slot thus providing an inwardly facing ramp for guiding the door panel outwardly through said slot, andwherein said mounting arrangement further comprises spring biassing means for holding the door panel tightly against said framework in said closure mode, said spring biassing means being located near the edge of the door panel adjacent the opening slot so that the door panel may only be opened by pushing inwardly on the slot end of the door panel to overcome the spring bias while sliding the door panel laterally through the slot far enough to provide access for reaching into the compartment and removing the gun.
