I finally took an Army surplus .30 caliber ammo can and had a high security hasp welded to it. I then got some very heavy chain and a high security lock and made my own gun safe for my car. Unfortunately, it's too big to fit under the seats, so I just run the chain around the seat mounts and leave it on the rear floor and cover it with an old jacket. I wanted something that was robust and affordable, and that would deter all but the most determined (and well equipped thief), and I think I succeeded. Let me know if you would like me to add photos of my redneck gun safe.
