Assembly for securing firearms
An assembly, including a cable and a bracket, is configured to secure a firearm having a shell ejection slot. The bracket, including a front plate and a tail, is configured for partial insertion into the shell ejection slot. The tail is disposed at an acute angle relative to the front plate and comprises a first aperture configured for insertion of the cable. A method of securing a firearm includes inserting a tail of a bracket into the shell ejection slot so that a front plate of the bracket remains outside the shell ejection slot, inserting a first end of a cable through a first aperture of the tail, and retaining the first end of the cable in a notch of a firearm holder.
