Handgun safe for Bronco

[jehines3]

Has anyone come across an after market hand gun safe (hopefully biometric) to attach to the passenger side accessory on the middle console? Think it's the perfect place to have your handgun for personal protection that's bolted in.

I have the console vault. It lives normally with the combination unlocked and the catch just turned to keep the spring-loaded lid closed. I don't think I've ever put a firearm there besides test fit. It needs a foam liner or holster catch to make it truly useful

I really think the better place is the attic space above the driver. There are sunglass holders that mount up in this space. I'd like to mock up a version of a bedside front loader and see how much room it takes up. It would be the most out of sight of prying eyes and thieves. The rear under-trunk vault is ungodly expensive and you have to keep the storage compartment clear to have access.

IMO, A safe visible from peering in the windows is a horrible idea. You have placed a flashing sign that says, I have something important to steal even when it's empty.

Where do you put your gun if you have to go into a restricted location? A safe is not a substitute for a holster for carry. Its to secure the firearm temporarily if you can't carry a firearm into a restricted location like Government building, Post office, airport, school etc... It is also NOT for long term storage, you should never leave a firearm in your vehicle overnight. I got this safe because its both hidden and secure and only use it if I can't carry my gun into a restricted location. If I didn't have the safe I would have to either leave the gun at home or leave it in a locked glove box or carry illegally into a secure location, neither of which I would ever do.

These are amazing. Do these permanently mount to the seat in some way? I never adjust my head rest so If these lock in place, I totally dig this. If you can just pick them off using the height adjustment latch, hard pass.

It locks in place and can't be pulled out of the seat. As you indicated it would be useless otherwise.

Everyone has good points. I never conceal carry on me personally as I live in an area (hopefully) that I don't feel the need. I live in northern Michigan w little crime. Just looking for something w quick access if I'm traveling which I will be later this year across many states. Don't know if matters,but former military and always aware of my surroundings. Just looking for a biometric quick option..

What are the rules for transport out of state?
I assume conceal carry is only good for the state you are licensed in. It would be nice if there was a way to get nationally licensed while traveling. Just curious & thanks for any info!

Mine lives here when I am driving. I don’t have a safe yet but that headrest one looks like the ticket.
