What is considered the best practice for transporting a firearm in a vehicle?

Loaded but not chambered
Unloaded and in a locked case
Unloaded but within easy reach
Loaded and on the back seat for easy access

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a locked case

When transporting a firearm in a vehicle, the best practice is to keep it unloaded and stored in a locked case. This is important for safety reasons to prevent accidental discharge and unauthorized access to the firearm. Keeping the firearm unloaded ensures that it cannot be fired accidentally. Storing it in a locked case adds an extra layer of security, especially when the vehicle is unattended. It also helps in complying with laws and regulations regarding the transportation of firearms. Therefore, option B is the correct choice for the best practice for transporting a firearm in a vehicle. Options A, C, and D are not considered best practices for transporting a firearm in a vehicle. Having the firearm loaded, even if not chambered (option A), or keeping it within easy reach (option C) can increase the risk of accidents. Similarly, having the firearm loaded and easily accessible on the back seat (option D) is not safe as it may lead to unauthorized use or accidental discharge.
