Lock box for Car

[skseifert]

Any suggestions on a good lockbox to store my gun in my car? How should it be mounted? Cable lock ok?

Was wondering that recently myself. I see that some people bolt them to their truck and was wondering how exactly this is done or if their is a "best" way. Will be watching this thread.

Been thinking about this one myself...

I think it's either Wal-mart or Lowes has one specifically for the car with a cable, and it's about $40. Probably not great quality, but would beat your glove box.

There were also some other reviews and ideas on a few other threads a several months ago, but can't seem to locate them now.

I don't like leaving my gun in my vehicle. But when I have to I use a Secure-It lock box. Search Google and you will find places to buy them.

They are just a metal box with a cable. A guy with tools could get into it, but its better than nothing or your glove box.

I had a gun stolen out of my truck , so I also looked in to safes to put in my truck , I found a center console safe that replaced the inside of my center console and appeared to be stock until it was opened up , just my luck they didn't make them for my year.
Figures the one time I left my gun in my truck at work some idiot decides to break into about 10 vehicles in the parking lot and mine was the last one , the minute he found a gun he left, all caught on video , and no I don't have my gun back in my possession yet.

I bought one of these and bolted it to the bottom of the center console in my F150.

Pretty solid and if you manage to mount it in a confined space (like I did) it will be very tough for a born loser to get a prying tool in to pop it loose.
If you don't have a large center console, you can use the included cable to secure it to the frame underneath your seat.
Not an ideal setup, but better than some.

Try to find a place that isn't 100% obvious to stick your lock box.
Also make sure you don't have to do something that gives its location away when you lock your gun away, like open the trunk and fiddle around for a bit every time.

You could also look into those fake dashboard panels that are on a hinge.
Some people conceal their expensive stereos that way, but you could just as easily slide one of those secure-it safes in there.
Might be worth a shot.

Do you happen to have any info on this center console replacement?

Nevermind found one. Now I gotta find something for my 01 silverado.

Might look at Center Of Mass Central.

They have several types of car safes.

Thanks for the link. They have the same one I'm looking at but $30 cheaper. It's the 1002 Console vault.
