I just got this: SHOT LOCK 1911 Full Handgun Solo-Vault Safe

I'm very happy with it. It's heavy and well made. I also like that it's not battery powered.

Edit: It has a 3/8" hole in the corner for a cable, which is how mine is attached. I have it under the passenger seat, cabled to one side of the seat base.

I spent a bit of time researching biometric safes and came to the same conclusion as /u/whatthefuckguys - namely that biometric safes are a crock of shit.

My biggest problem with them is that they require a battery or some kind of electric power source. That's a single point of failure - not what you want if some asshole is breaking down you front door in the middle of the night.

Can you imagine getting murdered because you couldn't draw down because you can't get you fancy pants bio safe open?

On the other hand I have 2 kids (ages 2 and 5) and a halfway-sane wife, so unlocked guns in the house is absolutely out of the question.

I got to thinking about mechanical locks, and ended up with one of these:

I liked it so much I bought a second one. With a little practice, it now takes me less than 3 seconds to go from locked to open and gun in hand. The lock keys are tactile and you can do it in pitch black darkness.

Can't recommend it enough. It has nice felt inside, a handle so it travels well - I take it to the range all the time.

The one downside is that due to the mechanical lock, the number of possible combinations is smaller, so it could be brute-forced. But it's really just intended to prevent casual access - which it excels at.

Under CA law:
If you leave your gun laying around and a child obtains your firearm and uses it, you will be convicted of a crime. This does not apply if your child breaks into your safe (seriously... here's a link http://law.justia.com/codes/california/2013/code-pen/part-6/title-4/division-4/chapter-2/section-25105).

I don't think CA has given us any requirements (i.e. thickness of metal, type of lock, etc.) to what 'locked container' means.

I would go with something that is fully enclosed, has a combo lock (so you don't have to find a key at 3AM), that your child can't realistically get into, and can be bolted to something.

Here are a few that I like.
