An appropriate mounting solution is going to either look weird or get very expensive. Epoxy is an option but quite permanent.

I bolted mine through the back into a stud in the wall, not as secure as anchors in the slab, but it is on a floating laminate floor. From what I have seen second hand most thieves won't stick around long enough to try to take it off the wall or bust it open, they'll just take the tv's and laptops and run.

I have a 10 gun(no way will it hold 10 long arms) stack on that was a Christmas present a few years ago. It's adequate for anti theft, I also have a small keyes safe beside the bed for edc, at night it just lays on the nightstand in the open though. I also keep an old homemade gun rack hanging above the safe with a cheap pump 12 that's easy to get to for bumps in the night. Once the kids get old enough that they could get to it by dragging in something to stand on I'll start keeping the bedroom door locked as well.
