Gun storage for car

[Retired Army]

I need some help please guys. I’m looking for a gun storage/safe for my wife to lock her Glock 26 in while she’s working. It’s a monitored employee parking area but no guarantees. She can’t really carry in her setting but I want her to have easy access while traveling. There are so many options that it’s a bit overwhelming. I’m hoping for some real world experience here. She has a 2017 Nissan Sentra if that helps. Also, the best (?) pepper spray she can carry in her pocket. She has a Kershaw Livewire OTF in one pocket. Thanks in advance.

I have an older version of one of these, & do not recommend it. Something in the mechanism is loose/misaligned, so the latch doesn’t line up when trying to lock it. With enough wiggling & shaking it will eventually lock, but it’s a major hassle. Maybe they’ve updated the mechanism? IDK.

Not trying to be funny, but can she store it in her purse, which then gets stored in a locked locker inside her work?

I’ve seen/heard of some cool car set-ups, but the names allude me and, obviously, it has to be something you can’t see or find easily. Do any of her seats fold up to where she can store something underneath the seat? What about storing it where the spare tire is?

I currently do not lock up mine in the car. Grounds for dismissal but i bring it into work. Only on rare occasions does it get left in the car (courthouse, soccer game etc). I have been eyeballing the one mentioned by Chainshaw . Has pretty good reviews.

At the NRA show I saw a setup where they replaced the headrests with concealed gun storage. Pricey but they looked great.

Self defense/preservation is first and foremost about attitude and awareness - second force of action power and speed - lastly but very important when you choose to use a tool is skill
I taught attitude and awareness for self defense at my business gym and church (mostly attended by women) for years fairburn techniques and pepper spray can be good supplements to a firearm get the most irritating far shooting spray you can (if its a substitute for a 26) Fox 5.3 Sabre 5oz and Mace Triple Action small spray are good. When you decide what to buy buy 3 of what you decide on and train/practice carrying and using slowly and deliberately when you become proficient practice with duress and distress from carry position with one and use the other 2 for carry.
