Console vaults fit well in most SUVs and some sedans. Larger gun and/or other valuable safes/vaults work in SUV types, trunks or in other non-visible securable locations of larger vans or vehicles. The thing to remember is the things are only as good as the protection from access. If your vehicle can be stolen and/or the bad guys/gals have the time and tools, your contents are at risk. Many of us who have fitted vehicles with secure containers of various makes/models have multi layer additional risk reduction factors. One example most common is LE vehicles. The theft risk is low for obvious reasons. Most of the newer higher end vehicles have alarm systems that include lock out/shutdown/tracking powered by self contained power sources. Vehicles hardened from theft require time, tools, flat bed wreckers and if tampering, towing or relocation occurs, several methods of notification occur. Sure they can be taken but the odds are against success. Very few folks have the need, will take the time or spend the $ for this level of security. Those who do still seldom are far from their vehicle. The make a living with it or what is in it. The vehicles live inside locked buildings with armed security teams, cameras, steel doors with fences that say keep out. Putting a tin box in your BMW or F150 just isn’t the same. The take away here is when containers are endorsed, it might be that there is much more to the story about how it is actually used.
One more thing while I’m ranting. Truck gun doesn’t necessarily mean it lives in a truck. It means cosmetic appearance is not important; if it gets scratched, it’s OK; cleaning is not a priority. The terms tool box gun, fishing box gun are also used. It will have rubber grips not ivory. A beat up/scratched wood stock or perhaps synthetic. It will be shorter than long. It will be of a caliber large enough to stop a livestock threat or the destructive pigs. In most cases it will be used for short range, not have glass and it ain’t for sale. If you don’t keep mud boots in your vehicle, you probably don’t need a truck gun.
