Abstract
A hand gun case body that is fully enclosed except for a door opening including a hinged door that latches to the case to close the opening. A slide inside the case body slides into and out of a door opening and carries a hand gun that is accordingly transferred between positions of containment within the case body and accessibility outside the case body. A biasing member urges the slide to the accessibility position when the door is opened. The biasing member is remote from the hand gun and avoids interference with said accessibility. The latch is actuated by a personal feature recognition device, e.g., a fingerprint recognition device and upon presentation of said personal feature to said device, said door is unlatched and the hand gun is presented to an authorized user.
