I claim: 1. A hand-mountable apparatus for collecting spent casings ejected from a firearm, comprising: a hand-engaging member for engaging a hand of a user attached to a spent casing collection apparatus for catching ejected casings from a firearm held by the hand of the user; wherein the hand-engaging member comprises a body portion having a back wall for positioning adjacent to the palm of the user's hand and a front wall for positioning adjacent to the side of the hand opposite the palm, a portion of said back and front walls being secured to each other. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the hand-engaging member generally comprises a glove. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the spent casing collection apparatus comprises: a base member for mounting on the hand-engaging member; a container support member mounted on the base member; and a casing collection container mounted on the container support member. 4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the base member has a front side and a back side, a top end and a bottom end, and a pair of side edges extending between the top and bottom ends. 5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein the base member has a first flange on a first one of the side edges and a second flange on a second one of the side edges; wherein the flanges extend from the back side of the base member away from the hand of the user when mounted for use on the hand of the user. 6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the base member includes a shaft extending between the flanges and being secured to the flanges. 7. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the container support member is pivotally mounted on the base member. 8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the container support member has a pair of apertures, the apertures of the container support member each receiving a portion of the base member to attach the container support member to the base member. 9. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the container support member includes a locking means for locking the support member in a position relative to the base member. 10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein the locking means comprises a first opening in the base member and a second opening in the support member, and a securing pin removably positionable in the first and second openings. 11. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the casing collection container comprises a container with at least one opening; wherein the container engages the support member in a manner such that the support member maintains the opening in an open condition. 12. The apparatus of claim 11 wherein the container comprises a bag. 13. The apparatus of claim 1 additionally comprising attachment means for removably attaching the spent casing collection apparatus to the hand-engaging member. 14. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the attachment means comprises a first portion mounted on the hand engaging member and a second portion mounted on the spent casing collection apparatus; and wherein the first and second portions of the attachment means being removably securable together so that the base member can be separated from the hand-engaging member. 15. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the hand-engaging member generally comprises a glove; wherein the spent casing collection apparatus comprises: a base member for mounting on the hand-engaging member; a container support member mounted on the base member; and a casing collection container mounted on the container support member; wherein the base member has a front side and a back side, a top end and a bottom end, and a pair of side edges extending between the top and bottom ends; wherein the base member has a first flange on a first one of the side edges and a second flange on a second one of the side edges; wherein the flanges extend from the back side of the base member away from the hand of the user when mounted for use on the hand of the user; wherein the base member includes a shaft extending between the flanges and being secured to the flanges; wherein the container support member is pivotally mounted on the base member; wherein the container support member has a pair of apertures, the apertures of the container support member each receiving a portion of the base member to attach the container support member to the base member; wherein the container support member includes a locking means for locking the support member in a position relative to the base member; wherein the locking means comprises a first opening in the base member and a second opening in the support member, and a securing pin removably positionable in the first and second openings; wherein the casing collection container comprises a container with at least one opening; wherein the container engages the support member in a manner such that the support member maintains the opening in an open condition; wherein the container comprises a bag; attachment means for removably attached the spent casing collection apparatus to the hand-engaging member, the attachment means comprising a first portion mounted on the hand engaging member and a second portion mounted on the spent casing collection apparatus, the first and second portions of the attachment means being removably securable together so that the base member can be separated from the hand-engaging member. 16. A hand-mountable apparatus for collecting spent casings ejected from a firearm, comprising: a hand-engaging member for engaging a hand of a user attached to a spent casing collection apparatus for catching ejected casings from a firearm held by the hand of the user; wherein the hand-engaging member generally comprises a glove. 17. The apparatus of claim 16 wherein the spent casing collection apparatus comprises: a base member for mounting on the hand-engaging member; a container support member mounted on the base member; a casing collection container mounted on the container support member; and wherein the container support member is pivotally mounted on the base member. 18. A hand-mountable apparatus for collecting spent casings ejected from a firearm, comprising: a hand-engaging member for engaging a hand of a user attached to a spent casing collection apparatus for catching ejected casings from a firearm held by the hand of the user; wherein a position of at least a portion of the spent casing collection apparatus is pivotally adjustable with respect to the hand-engaging member to permit positioning of the collection apparatus with respect to a firearm held in the hand of the user and wherein the hand-engaging member comprises a body portion having a back wall for positioning adjacent to the palm of the user's hand and a front wall for positioning adjacent to the side of the hand opposite the palm, a portion of said back and front walls being secured to each other. 19. The apparatus of claim 18 wherein the spent casing collection apparatus comprises: a base member for mounting on the hand-engaging member; a container support member mounted on the base member; a casing collection container mounted on the container support member; and wherein the container support member is pivotally mounted on the base member.
