The alternative is, if you got your gun new, to just put a lock on the plastic carrying case it came in. At least the ones I bought came in cases...

And as soon as you open your trunk, you no longer have a locked container. You now have a firearm in public, and you just violated the above reference Penal Code. The parking lot (even though it is private property) is an area that is readily accessible to the public. It is viewed as a public area in the eyes of the law.
