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

  1. Unloaded and in a locked case

  2. Loaded but in a gun rack

  3. Hidden under the seat for easy access

  4. With safety on to prevent accidental discharge

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a locked case

Carrying unloaded and securely stored in a locked case is the safest way to transport firearms in a vehicle. This option ensures that the firearm is not readily accessible and poses less risk for accidental discharge or theft. Keeping a firearm loaded, even in a gun rack, can increase the chances of an accident or injury. Hiding the firearm under the seat is also not recommended as it could easily shift during travel and potentially cause harm. Keeping the safety on is also not a guarantee for accident prevention, which is why it is essential to properly secure and store firearms during transportation.
