Console vault markets their products for both firearms and valuables. I've been using them for years and have one in almost all of my vehicles. I'm in and out of places everyday in MD, DC and Va where firearms are prohibited. The console vault does a good job for quick and easy storage / retrieval.

My wife works at a hardware store and they are a Liberty Safe dealer. The small vehicle vault options they have are very very nice and they all can be had with a fingerprint lock.

I have not found an ideal place to mount one but I am seriously considering just bolting it to the floor right behind the center console. My kids and dog can just use it for a footrest.

I use a crossbreed super tuck deluxe and I also wear a underarmor t-shirt with one under the left arm (I am a righty).

Awesome replies guys. Thank you. Hate California! But when I lived there I still carried one in the console.

Here is another of the many options out there. I have this one for my wife's car. Under $30 on Amazon.

Bulldog Car Safe

I have a number of products from the below company around my house, property, and 5th wheel and have been very satisfied with them also.

Anything not secured basically becomes a projectile in a crash.

Most of Tom Mix films were filmed here in Newhall. That famous shot of him jumping that large span was Beale's Cut, three miles south of me in the Newhall Pass. There is an ongoing debate as to whether Mix made the jump or a stunt double.

There's about a half hour of my life I'll never get back, because he posted that picture. The internet is great for stuff like that. Losing hours of your life I mean. There aren't any known surviving films of the jump, as there was a fire at some warehouse. The pic looks photoshopped, or whatever it is they did back then.
