A firearm trigger locking device with two sides and fixed hardened steel pins. The device is designed to be universal for a particular family of guns--e.g., all rifles, all shotguns, or all handguns (or all revolvers or automatic pistols)--of a given firearm manufacturer. The device further features a pin behind the trigger to prevent firing, hardened steel plates in each side sufficient in size to cover the trigger guard and prevent transverse application of a saw to the trigger guard, and a ring of hardened steel pins around the periphery of the trigger guard to prevent application of a saw between the plates. The method for producing this trigger locking device uses lateral and axial profiles of the family of firearms to develop features and feature locations that will allow it to be used with any member of the family of firearms.

What is claimed is: 1. A firearm lock having a right half and a left half for placement over a right side and a left side of a trigger guard of the firearm, comprising: a) a right outer housing and a left outer housing each having an outer surface and an inner surface; b) a right protective plate adjacent to the inner surface of the right outer housing and having a plurality of through holes, c) a left protective plate adjacent to the inner surface of the left outer housing and having a plurality of through holes, each of the through holes being alignable with a corresponding hole through the right protective plate; d) a right interface member adjacent to the right protective plate and having a plurality of through holes, each of the through holes being alignable with a corresponding hole through the right protective plate; e) a left interface member adjacent to the left protective plate and having a plurality of through holes, each of the holes being alignable with a corresponding hole through the left protective plate; f) a plurality of transverse security elements, each security element being retained to either the right outer housing or the left outer housing in a pattern such that when the right and left halves of the lock are assembled the security elements pass through aligned holes in each of the protective plates and the interface members; and g) a transverse locking element, the locking element being activatable to lock together the right half and the left half of the firearm lock; wherein the right half of the lock comprises: the right outer housing, the right protective plate and the right interface member and the left half of the lock comprises the left outer housing, the left protective plate, and the left interface member, and the two halves, when placed over each side of the trigger guard and locked together, cooperate with elements on the firearm to substantially prevent movement of the trigger lock; and wherein features of the trigger lock are selected such that the same lock will, without modification, fit securely on the trigger guards of a plurality of firearm models produced by a single manufacturer, the selected features comprising at least one of: the pattern and number of the plurality of transverse security elements; a location of the transverse locking element; a contour of the right and left interface members; and a profile of the right and left protective plates. 2. The firearm lock of claim 1, further comprising non-retractable hardened steel parts affixed to the right side or the left side, wherein the hardened steel parts are transverse to the protective plates and the trigger guard and extend between the protective plates and around an exterior of the trigger guard so as to prevent the application of a saw to the trigger guard by insertion of said saw between the protective plates. 3. The firearm lock of claim 2, wherein said hardened steel parts comprise steel pins. 4. The firearm lock of claim 1, wherein each of the protective plates comprises a hardened steel plate. 5. The firearm lock of claim 1, wherein the transverse security elements comprise hardened steel pins. 6. The firearm lock of claim 1, further comprising each interface member having an inner surface contoured for non-damaging contact with at least one surface of the firearm. 7. The firearm lock of claim 6, wherein the surfaces contacted comprise at least one of: a surface of the trigger guard, and a surface of a side of the firearm. 8. The firearm lock of claim 6, further comprising at least one interface member having the contoured inner surface that includes indents to accommodate a safety of the firearm. 9. The firearm lock of claim 1, wherein each of the protective plates extends beyond a front, a back and a bottom of the trigger guard. 10. The firearm lock of claim 1, wherein each of the protective plates extends beyond a top of the trigger guard and conforms to a lateral side of the firearm. 11. The firearm lock of claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of transverse security elements is intermediate the trigger guard and a trigger for the plurality of firearm models. 12. The firearm lock of claim 1 wherein the plurality of firearms produced by the single manufacturer are selected from the group consisting of: a) all of the current rifle models from the single manufacturer; b) all of the current shotgun models from the single manufacturer; c) all of the current revolver models from the single manufacturer; d) all of the current automatic pistol models from the single manufacturer; e) all of the current handgun models from the single manufacturer; and f) two or more of (a) through (e). 13. A method for producing a firearm trigger lock that will fit securely on the trigger guards of a plurality of firearm models produced by a single manufacturer, the trigger lock comprising two halves; a plurality of transverse security elements between the halves; and a transverse locking element, comprising: a) measuring profiles of regions of the plurality of firearm models adjacent to the trigger guard of each firearm model; b) comparing each of the profile measurements from each of the plurality of firearm models to a corresponding profile measurement from each other firearm model; c) determining from the comparison a placement of the plurality of transverse security elements such that the trigger lock will, without further modification, fit each of the plurality of firearm models, and such that upon fitting the lock to the trigger guard of each of the plurality of firearm models, the transverse security elements prevent substantial movement of the lock relative to the trigger guards; and d) producing the firearm trigger lock with the placement of transverse security elements determined in step (c). 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the trigger lock further comprises an interface member on an inner surface of at least one half of the lock, the interface member having a contoured surface for non-damaging contact with a surface of the firearm, further comprising the step, after step (b) of: determining from the comparison, a single surface contour for the interface member that will accommodate the surface of every one of the plurality of firearm models. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the trigger lock further comprises at least one protective plate, further comprising the step, after step (b) of: determining from the comparison a single profile for the protective plate such that the at least one protective plate extends beyond the trigger guard of each of the plurality of firearm models so that portions thereof abut the sides of the firearm and prevent the insertion of an implement between said firearm and said at least one protective plate. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein said portions are shaped to conform to the shapes of the plurality of firearm models where they abut each firearm.
