Gun safe recommendations

[pgp_protector]

The joys of living in California.

My car doesn't have a trunk so to travel I need a safe to lock up my gun in.
Looking for recommendations that can hold a 6 cylinder revolver over all length 12 inches.

Any lock box you like. Drill two holes through a corner and lock it with a chain or cable to your seat post. You will never stop a dedicated professional thief. But, you can slow the clumsy one down and force them to look for an easier target than yours.

It's not to stop the thief, it's to avoid trouble if I'm stopped for anything.

Legally, you should be OK if you have a hard-sided case which can be locked (like with a padlock).

Gun shops have these in all sizes, since they are required for shipping guns within a checked suitcase. They are padded inside with foam. Buy a lock also.

Be sure it's unloaded when you lock it up inside.

Yea, so far the ones at the gun shops near me don't fit, I've got an old 3 Screw Ruger about 12 inches long, all the lock boxes near me are a but under 11 inches.

nice, interior dimensions and 19 x 6.5 x 13.5 inches are exterior
That should work.

That looks like a good box for the price...

As I said, I drilled 3/8" hole in the corner and passed a lock through it, then cable lock it to the seat post of my truck. It is not 100 burglar proof but in meets the needs of the law when I am going through our National Forest. At the local department store most sneak thieves are hit and run and if they must make noise or take too long they move on. They are lazy cowards. (PS I also cable lock my hunting rifle to the seat after getting one stolen on the way to the target range. I was in front of a major sporting good store, dead center of the doors with cameras pointing at my truck. I ran in just for a minute to get some ammo and came out and the gun was gone. The kicker was that the cameras pointing to my truck did not work. None of them did. The store went bankrupt 3 years later.)
