What is the correct way to transport a firearm?

Loaded and ready to fire
Unloaded and locked in a firearm case
With the safety on
Without a case, but with a trigger lock

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

Transporting a firearm should always prioritize safety and compliance with legal regulations. The correct way to transport a firearm is to ensure it is unloaded and securely locked in a firearm case. This method minimizes the risk of accidental discharge and helps conform to various legal requirements that mandate firearms be transported in a safe manner. Transporting a firearm loaded and ready to fire poses significant safety risks and is generally prohibited in many jurisdictions. Using a firearm with the safety on does not guarantee safety during transport, as this does not prevent the possibility of accidental discharge if mishandled. Lastly, using a trigger lock without a case may not provide adequate protection and could still result in safety hazards during transport. Therefore, unloading the firearm and securing it in a case is the safest and most responsible practice.
