What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a mount adapted to be coupled to a firearm; a stabilization device adapted to be coupled to the mount and disposed in a first position relative to the mount, the stabilization device having a first leg, a cavity, with a seat spring and center pin disposed therein, and a trigger that, when actuated, allows the stabilization device to transition from the first position to a second position relative to the mount; the center pin coupled to the trigger and adapted to cooperate with the seat spring to engage the mount in a manner to secure the stabilization device in a selected one of the first position or the second position; wherein the stabilization device further includes a second leg; and further wherein a head unit is coupled to the first leg and the second leg through a first leg top and a second leg top, respectively, and the stabilization device further includes a connecting link adapted to couple the first leg top and the second leg top to the head unit; and wherein the stabilization device further includes: a first cam pivotally coupled to the connecting link and statically coupled to the first leg top; a second cam pivotally coupled to the connecting link and statically coupled to the second leg top; and the trigger being designed to engage the first and second cams in a manner to facilitate the first and second legs being secured in either the first or the second positions. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the stabilization device further comprises: a pull-pin adapted to couple the head unit to the mount in a manner to facilitate the transition from the first position to the second position. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the actuation of the trigger disengages the center pin from the mount and allows the stabilization device to transition between the first and second positions. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the mount has a recess and the center-pin is adapted to cooperate with the seat spring to engage the mount by being at least partially disposed within the recess. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the mount has a first surface adapted to couple to a firearm, and the first position comprises the first leg being substantially parallel to the second leg and to the first surface. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the second position comprises the first leg being substantially nonparallel to the second leg and to the first surface. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the stabilization device further comprises: a connecting link adapted to couple the first leg top and the second leg top to the head unit. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the head unit is further adapted to facilitate the first and second legs pivoting between the first and second positions. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising: a first spring coupled to the head unit and the first leg top and adapted to facilitate the first leg pivoting between the first position and the second position; and a second spring coupled to the head unit and the second leg top and adapted to facilitate the first leg pivoting between the first position and the second position. 10. A system comprising: a firearm; a mount coupled to the firearm; and a stabilization device adapted to be coupled to the mount and having a first legs a second leg, and a trigger that, when actuated, allows the stabilization device to transition from a first position to a second position: the first position having a first relative positioning between the stabilization device and the mount and a second relative positioning between the first leg and the second leg, and the second position having a third relative positioning between the stabilization device and the mount and a fourth relative positioning between the first leg and the second leg; wherein the stabilization device further includes: a head unit coupled to the first and second legs; and a pull-pin adapted to couple the head unit to the mount in a manner to facilitate the transition from the first position to the second position and further wherein the head unit includes: a cavity having a seat spring and a center pin disposed therein; and the center pin coupled to the trigger and adapted to cooperate with the seat spring to engage the mount in a manner to secure the stabilization device in a selected one of the first position or the second position and further wherein the mount has a first recess and a second recess and the center-pin is adapted to cooperate with the seat spring to engage the mount by being at least partially disposed within the first recess while the stabilization device is disposed in the first position and the second recess while the stabilization device is disposed in the second position. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the actuation of the trigger disengages the center pin from a selected one of the first recess or the second recess to allow the stabilization device to transition between the first and second positions. 12. The system of claim 10, wherein the stabilization device further comprises: a first leg top coupled to the first leg, pivotally coupled to a connecting link, and statically coupled to a first cam; a second leg top coupled to the second leg, pivotally coupled to the connecting link, and statically coupled to a second cam; and the trigger being designed to engage the first and second cams in a manner to facilitate the first and second leg tops being secured in a selected one of the first position or the second position. 13. An apparatus comprising: a mount adapted to be coupled to a firearm; and a stabilization device coupled to the mount and having a first leg, a second leg, and a trigger that, when actuated, allows the stabilization device to transition from a first position to a second position; the first position having a first relative positioning between the stabilization device and the mount and a second relative positioning between the first leg and the second leg, and the second position having a third relative positioning between the stabilization device and the mount and a fourth relative positioning between the first leg and the second leg; and wherein the stabilization device further comprises: a first cam statically coupled to the first leg; and a second cam statically coupled to the second leg, the first and second cams adapted to engage the trigger in a manner to secure the first leg and the second leg in a selected one of the second relative positioning or the fourth relative positioning. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the stabilization device further comprises: a center pin coupled to the trigger and adapted to engage the mount in a manner to secure the stabilization device, relative to the mount, in a selected one of the first position or the second position. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, further comprising: a seat spring to cooperate with the center pin to engage the mount; and a cavity having the seat spring and the center pin disclosed therein. 16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the stabilization device further comprises: a head unit coupled to the first leg and the second leg; and a pull-pin adapted to couple the head unit to the mount in a manner to facilitate the transition from the first position to the second position.
