A quick biometric gun lock has a hinge located between two sides such that the two sides open and close about the hinge and a cavity between the two sides for reception of the finger protector and trigger mechanism of a gun such that the quick biometric gun lock encloses the trigger and finger protection area. A control shaft is attached to one of the sides having teeth for closure of the gunlock and extends into a hollow area of the other side. A control device in the other side is arranged to engage the teeth of the control shaft. This control device is either an electric motor or solenoid controlled by a microcontroller. For an electric motor the integral shaft moves a toothed servo shaft that is in contact with corresponding grooves of the electric motors integral shaft the solenoid has an integral shaft to control the gunlock.
