What is the safest way to transport a firearm?

  1. Unloaded and in a locked case

  2. Loaded but not cocked

  3. With the safety on

  4. In the trunk, assembled

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a locked case

The safest way to transport a firearm is when it is unloaded and placed in a locked case. This helps to prevent accidental discharge and unauthorized access to the firearm. Keeping the firearm unloaded ensures that it cannot be fired accidentally, and placing it in a locked case adds an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized handling. Other options like transporting a loaded firearm, even if not cocked, or keeping the safety on, do not provide the same level of safety as transporting an unloaded firearm in a locked case. Additionally, transporting a firearm in the trunk in an assembled state can be risky as it could still be accessed by unauthorized individuals. It is always best to prioritize safety when handling and transporting firearms.
