Broken Ashtray Repair/Options

I bought my truck about a month ago, and while there are a lot of things I've been meaning to fix, this broken ashtray has been bugging me, but I can't seem to figure it out.

It never stays all the way shut, and while it doesn't fall entirely out, it comes loose.

So I'm just looking for a way to repair it.

And if not that what can I put there? I know I've seen you guys put your CB's and gauges there, but any other ideas? I don't smoke so perhaps I should be looking to replace it!

I saw a thread on here a while back where someone made the ashtray into a slide out tray to put their handgun in. Not a bad idea but not sure how they got it to stay closed.

If it were up to some politicians, loaning guns would be illegal, even to family members. It would be illegal to take a friend to the range and let them try out your firearm or loaning them your shotgun for a hunting trip...
I better end my rant there.
