Which of the following is a legal and safe way of transporting your firearm in a motor vehicle?

  1. Loaded, in the glove compartment

  2. Unloaded, on the passenger seat

  3. Unloaded, in the trunk

  4. Loaded, under the driver's seat

The correct answer is: Unloaded, in the trunk

Transporting a firearm in the trunk of a motor vehicle is considered the safest and most legal option. This is because it is inaccessible to the driver and any passengers, reducing the risk of accidental discharge. Having the gun loaded, whether it is in the glove compartment or under the driver's seat, is not safe as it can easily be accessed and pose a danger to those in the vehicle. Similarly, placing it on the passenger seat, even if unloaded, can still potentially be reached by the driver or a passenger. It is important to always follow proper firearm safety precautions, including securely transporting firearms in a vehicle.
