What is the proper way to transport a firearm?

  1. Unloaded and locked in the trunk of your vehicle

  2. Fully assembled and ready to use

  3. With the safety on

  4. Loaded but in a gun case

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in the trunk of your vehicle

Transporting a firearm should always be done safely and responsibly. Option B is incorrect because a fully assembled and ready to use firearm can pose a threat to others and is not easily controlled. Option C is also incorrect because simply putting the safety on does not guarantee the safe transport of the firearm. Option D is also incorrect as a loaded firearm, even in a gun case, can still be easily accessed and potentially cause harm. The correct way to transport a firearm is to unload it and lock it in the trunk of your vehicle to prevent any accidents or unauthorized access.
