Abstract
A gun safety device includes a barrel plug assembly (A) which is installed in a barrel of a gun. The barrel plug assembly (A) has an expansion tube ( ), a pair of compression members ( ) and a joining member ( ). The expansion tube ( ) applies a force radially outward when compressed longitudinally. The pair of compression members ( ) are arranged at opposite ends of the expansion tube ( ) and are rotationally fixed with respect to one another. The joining member ( ) operatively links the compression members ( ) together and selectively draws them together to longitudinally compress the expansion tube ( ) therebetween. The gun safety device also includes a wrench assembly (B) which is selectively attachable and mated to the barrel plug assembly (A). The wrench assembly (B) operates the joining member ( ).
