What is the best way to transport a firearm safely?

Loaded and within easy reach
Unloaded and locked in a gun case
Hidden under a seat
With the safety on

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in a gun case

The best way to transport a firearm safely is to keep it unloaded and locked in a gun case. This method ensures that the firearm cannot be accidentally discharged during transport, significantly enhancing safety for both the individual handling the firearm and others around them. Locking the firearm in a case also prevents access by unauthorized individuals, particularly children, which is critical for responsible firearm ownership. While options that mention keeping the firearm loaded, hidden, or relying solely on the safety mechanism may seem convenient, they do not provide adequate protection against accidental discharge or unauthorized access. Transporting a firearm unloaded and in a secured manner is widely recognized as best practice to promote safety and prevent potential mishaps.
