What is the proper way to transport firearms in a vehicle?

  1. Loaded and assembled for quick use

  2. Disassembled and in a locked case

  3. Unloaded and in a gun rack

  4. Unloaded and in a locked case

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a locked case

Firearms should always be transported unloaded and in a locked case in a vehicle. Option A may seem convenient for quick use, but it poses a danger as the trigger could accidentally be pulled while in transit. Option B is a safer choice because it ensures the firearm cannot be used until it is deliberately assembled, but it does not provide the same level of security as a locked case. Option C is also not a safe way to transport firearms as they could move around and cause accidents. Therefore, the safest and proper way to transport firearms in a vehicle is to have them unloaded and in a locked case. This ensures both safety and security while on the go.
