What is the safest way to transport a firearm?

1. Unloaded and in a case

2. Loaded but with the safety on

3. Unloaded and assembled

4. Loaded and ready to fire

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a case

Transporting a firearm can be a dangerous task if not done properly. While all of the options may seem like viable choices, option A is the safest way to transport a firearm. This is because the firearm is unloaded and stored in a case, which helps prevent any accidental discharges or access to the firearm by unauthorized individuals. Options B and D are both incorrect because they involve transporting a loaded firearm, increasing the risk of accidental discharge or danger to oneself and others. Option C is also incorrect because even though the firearm is unloaded, storing it in separate pieces can make it difficult to assemble quickly if needed for self-defense. Option A is the safest and most responsible way to transport a firearm.
