What is the best practice for transporting firearms?

  1. Loaded and assembled

  2. Unloaded and in a case

  3. Unloaded but assembled

  4. In the front seat for easy access

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a case

The best practice for transporting firearms is to have them unloaded and in a case. This ensures the safety of yourself and those around you. Option A, having the firearm loaded and assembled, poses a risk for accidental discharge and is generally not recommended. Option C, having the firearm unloaded but assembled, also poses a potential safety risk as the firearm could still be easily accessed and mishandled. Option D, having the firearm in the front seat for easy access, is not recommended as it can lead to unnecessary exposure and potential theft. It is always important to prioritize safety when transporting firearms.
