A 12-hour shift is a long time for a gun to sit in a glove box.

Less than a dollar a day.

Golden Gate car gun safe open in the back seat of a pickup truck with two unloaded pistols, magazines out, in the foam

Boosted Safe is a steel car gun safe for first responders. It clicks into the child-seat anchors in your back seat, looks like a booster seat, and opens with your finger. Your pistol (unloaded), wallet and badge stay locked to the car until you’re back.

Dark SUV parked outside lit fire station bays at night on wet pavement

Everybody knows whose car is in the station lot.

The firehouse, the precinct, the ambulance bay at the hospital. Your car sits in the same lot every shift, and anyone driving past knows who parks there: people who carry, people with gear, people who won’t be back for hours. The glove box was never going to stop that.

  • The glove box.A plastic latch. First thing a thief opens.
  • The center console.Second thing a thief opens.
  • Under the seat.The first place anyone looks once the window is broken.
  • The bag on the seat.A bag in plain view is reason enough to break the window.

Your car has steel anchors. We lock a safe to them.

You might not know they’re there. Every passenger vehicle sold in the US since the 2003 model year has them, by federal standard FMVSS 225. A child seat clicks into them. So does a Boosted Safe.

  • Locked to the car.Two steel latches grab the same bars that hold a child seat in a crash. The release is inside the safe.
  • Looks like a booster seat.Nobody breaks a window for a booster seat.
  • Opens in a second.Fingerprint first. Keypad and key behind it.

Why it's a Boosted Safe

Steel. Fingerprint. Anchors.

Not convinced? Watch us take a sledgehammer to it.

Sledgehammer first. Then everything else the internet suggested.

Every tool below came from a real comment on our ads, typed with total confidence from somewhere very comfortable. We tried all of them on camera.

Go ahead. Pick your tool.

Want us to try something else?

Submit a challenge. If it’s good, it goes on camera, and we’ll send you the footage of it not working.

Straight answers.

Is this a car safe for first responders only?

No, anyone can buy one. We wrote this page for police, EMTs, firefighters and dispatchers because your cars sit in the same lots every shift, and plenty of you carry off duty.

Does it meet my department’s storage policy?

We can’t answer for your department. Here’s what it is: a locked steel container that latches to the vehicle’s child-seat anchors, with the release inside the safe. Show your written policy to your supervisor or armorer. This is general information, not legal advice.

Is there a first responder discount?

Law enforcement: code LEO10 takes 10% off a single Boosted Safe Elite or Basic (military: MIL10). Buying two or more safes? Skip the code: the multi-safe deal takes 25% off every safe, 30% at ten or more, and codes don’t stack with it.

Can our station or department buy several?

Yes, straight from the cart. Pick a quantity up to 50. Two to nine safes take 25% off every safe; ten or more take 30% off. All six safes count together, mixed or matched: Elite, Basic, Mini Elite, Mini Basic, Golden Gate Elite and Golden Gate Basic. Refurbished safes don’t count. Questions first? Call or text 202-BOOSTED.

Is it a certified gun safe?

The Golden Gate Elite is. The California DOJ lists it as an approved firearm safety device: see the listing. It’s the only Boosted Safe with that certification. The Golden Gate Basic hasn’t been tested yet.

Can I store a loaded firearm in it?

Store firearms unloaded. That is how we ask every owner to use it.

Will it fit my car?

Most passenger vehicles from the 2003 model year on have the anchors in the back seat. Heavy-duty pickups over 8,500 lb and regular cabs may not. Check yours in a minute.

What happens if the battery dies?

The low-battery indicator gives you advance warning, and the backup key opens the safe even with a dead battery. Keep the key somewhere secure and separate from the vehicle.

Can a thief just take the whole safe?

It is latched to steel anchors welded to the car’s body, and the release is inside the safe. To take it out, someone has to open it first. With enough time and enough tools nothing is secure. Our job is to make a smash-and-grab need far more of both than a thief brings to a parking lot.

What if I don’t like it?

Put it in your car and live with it. If it isn’t for you, send it back inside 30 days for a refund. Defects are covered for as long as you own it.

Lock it down before your next shift.

The Golden Gate Elite: 12-gauge steel, certified for firearms, clipped to your back seat in under a minute. Buying for the whole crew? Two or more safes are 25% off each.
