We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Get a small gun safe that can slide under your seat or be bolted under the dash or something. These folks have an inexpensive key-locked safe, there are others around that are larger and more expensive but have a nifty electronic combination lock.
I have one of GunVault safes that I've been lugging around with me so that I can lock my gun in the car when I go to church (it's illegal to carry in church in Utah), but I think I'm going to buy a pair of the center of mass safes and install one permanently in each vehicle, bolted down under the dash or placed under the seat and secured with the steel cable.
Of course, a thief equipped with a bolt cutter or hacksaw can still remove the safe and then cut it open at leisure to get your gun, but it's much better than just storing it in the console between the seats, or even in the trunk of a car.

This is the link he was trying to post.

You can buy all kinds of safes and such at stores like Gander Mountain and Dicks.
But if you are in the car/truck with the firearm why not just through a quick cable lock through the gun?
Way cheaper than anything else, even free at some gun stores.
Only reason I would use a safe is if I was leaving it in the car and it wasnt on my person.
