What is the correct way to transport a firearm in a vehicle?

Loaded and within the driver's reach
Unloaded and locked in the trunk
In the glove compartment for easy access
Assembled and ready to use

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in the trunk

The correct way to transport a firearm in a vehicle is to have it unloaded and locked in the trunk. This ensures that the firearm is stored securely and not easily accessible, reducing the risk of accidents or unauthorized use. Keeping the firearm locked in the trunk also helps comply with safety regulations and laws regarding firearms transportation. Option A is incorrect because having a loaded firearm within the driver's reach can be extremely dangerous and is likely illegal in many states, including New York. Option C is also incorrect as storing a firearm in the glove compartment for easy access is not a safe practice and may be against the law. Option D is incorrect because having a firearm assembled and ready to use while transporting it in a vehicle is unsafe and can lead to accidental discharge or misuse.
