Abstract: A safe for a firearm includes a container having a front opening that slidably receives a drawer having an open top that holds a firearm in a presentation position. A drop-down panel is slidably around the first side, front, and second side of the drawer when the drawer is in an extended potion. The drop-down panel is raised at least partially above the first side, front, and second side of the drawer when the drawer is in a retracted position inside the container to seal the front opening. A ramp is fixed within the internal volume of the container that raises the drop-down panel when the drawer is pushed backwardly into the container. A latch retains the drawer in the retracted position against a spring that urges the drawer into the extended position, and is selectively openable with a lock that releases the latch.
