The gun further has a sliding assembly slidably coupled to the barrel portion having first biased orientation for allowing access to the interior of the barrel and a magazine well and a second unbiased orientation for precluding access to the interior of the barrel and the magazine well. Also included is a gun locking mechanism with a pair of side faces each having a lower edge, an upper edge, a rear edge, and a front edge. Each side face has an upper lip extending perpendicularly from an upper edge thereof. One of the upper lips is larger than the other upper lip. The upper lips of each of the side faces are pivotally coupled. The gun locking mechanism further has a loading prevention mechanism including a horizontally orientated post coupled below the upper lips and a vertically orientated post also coupled below the upper lips.
