I think it's important to secure your stuff. Regardless of your views on guns, having a place to secure your valuables is important as well and you might find this useful.
Here is what I did. I installed:
Hornady 98190 RAPiD Safe AR Rifle Gunlocker with RFID Touch Free Entry
You can see it on Amazon here:

I got this one because it "fit" almost exactly to the size I needed and of the name brand recognition and for the weight. It's about 55lbs.
I started by getting some half inch maple plywood and cut it to size and stained it.
I then screwed it down the center to the supporting wood and also along the sides and rear...
Under the locker in the back storage you can see the half inch supporting wood that runs under it. I used screws that would sink into the wood on top and drive deep enough to go into the half in support wood in the center.
This gun locker was "exactly" 42 inches and fit nicely through the opening.
I then swag bolted the locker down through the 1/2 plywood.
Nice and tight fit...
This won't stop a determined thief, but usually due to time, noise and inconvenience this will stop the opportunistic quick robbery. Got 9" of shelf space in front for storage and obscuring the obvious viewing. Pretty dark back there without the light. A thief would have to destroy the entire entertainment center to get it out of there. I guess at that point, it's an insurance claim.
What do you think? Has anyone done anything like this for their rig?
