I don't think it's a good idea to have a safe (screams, "there are valuable items here!") placed somewhere, like the back seat, where it's easily visible from outside the vehicle.
Yes, that does scream valuables, but a small handgun safe could easily be hidden under the backseat of my truck. At first glance you would never see it. The concern is if someone gains access to your vehicle that they can't easily make off with your weapon. If it was bolted to the floorboard I don't think most thieves will waste time trying to detach it or have a crowbar big enough to rip it from the floor.
