Guys,
This is a horrible reminder to keep your firearm in your possession at all times.
This is entirely avoidable! If you leave your firearm in your car, lock it up in a lock box. 20 dollars could have saved this childs life.

Ok, so, take a deep breath. Keep in mind that I'm not Mr. Super Tactical Operator, just some random internet stranger.

You're not dumb. You're not silly for experiencing anxiety. Never forget that firearms are deadly tools. But, so are cars, so is your stove, so is a knife. There are a lot of dangerous things in our lives, but we can mitigate that danger by being knowledgeable about the dangers, taking basic precautions, and always educating ourselves and those around us about how to be safe.
>My car doesn’t have a lockable glovebox, which sucks.
Get a locking container! They're $20-30. Here is one at Amazon, Knob Creek has a few on the shelf on the back side of the store near the cafeteria next to the used holsters, Cabelas sells them. They cable to a hard point on the car like a seat rail and lock. They are not safes but are a good layer of security.

>Fun fact in KY is you can’t store a weapon in a non-OEM locked compartment.
I don't think that is an accurate statement. The typical legal language is "Not readily accessible" and "in a locked container".
I think you're conflating the older laws about vehicle carry. KY and several other states allow non-permit holders to carry a gun in a vehicle without a carry permit in an OEM compartment in the car. Even the restrictive states and also federal law regularly cite locking containers as being required for transport. Here in KY, the recent enactment of constitutional carry also makes this moot. If you can carry a gun on your person sans permit in KY then having a gun in your control in a car under any condition is also now legal.
I'd be real curious to learn if I'm wrong. A law that requires storage in an OEM compartment is stupid. If there is one I'd like to hear about it so I can talk to my state reps to get it fixed.
If the center console doesn't work for you here is what I use.
I have an older vehicle with practically no console. If someone were dedicated enough I know this wouldn't do much but it's better than nothing.
As everyone else said, a gun is no use to you if it's not on your person.
That being said there are certainly instances where I have had to secure my firearm going into areas that restrict firearms, or if I'm gonna have a few drinks.

That's the exact same safe I use. Uses a steel cable that goes through the car seat to secure the box. While it won't keep the determined criminal from prying open the box, it is much more secure than a glove box and will stop smash and grab thieves.
Also, you can open a suitcase with a pen
I'd recommend something like this
It's not perfect, but it should stop a maid or something from stealing cash as long as you secure the cable to something they won't be able to move.
Mild lecture: a $20 container similar to this won't defeat a prepared thief but it'll beat almost all smash and grab opportunists. There's really no excuse to not use one if you have to leave your gun in your car. They work great for your wallet and cell phone at the gym, too.

I posted this same question about a month ago.
I invested in this lock box that has a cable wire to wrap around you're seat frame. Perfect for leaving it in your car, but still locked and secure from smash and grabs
Exactly, a glovebox won't stop a determined criminal. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TONRU9S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Can you carry in a metal safe / box like this one? Assuming you insert some foam and cutouts to keep everything separated (ammo in its own box etc)?

One of these under the aback seat with the cable around support pillar for the seat.

If you’re going to keep a gun in your car, keep it locked in a safe when you aren’t in your car. You can get a safe like this one for cheap.
