Abstract
The trigger cover includes a housing having a clamp for secure attachment to the trigger guard of a firearm. Within the housing is an electrical circuit having a receiver energized by movement of a motion sensor. The receiver is coupled to a central processing unit which, upon receiving a signal from a remote transmitter, will energize a motor or solenoid to permit the spring-driven motion of a pair of guard plates which normally block access to the firearm trigger. The transmitter of the predetermined radio code may be worn as part of a piece of jewelry.
