What is the proper way to transport a firearm?

Loaded and unlocked
Unloaded and locked in a case
Assembled and ready to use
With the safety on

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in a case

Transporting a firearm correctly is extremely important for both safety and legal reasons. While it may seem logical to keep a firearm loaded and unlocked for ease of access, this is not the proper way to transport it. Not only does this pose a risk of accidental discharge, it is also illegal in most jurisdictions. Similarly, transporting an assembled and ready to use firearm also poses a safety risk as it can easily be fired unintentionally. The best practice is to transport a firearm unloaded and locked in a case. This ensures that the firearm is secure and inaccessible to anyone without the key or combination. Additionally, some states have laws requiring firearms to be transported in a locked case while traveling. It is also important to note that regardless of transportation method, a firearm should always have the safety engaged to prevent accidental discharge.
