What is the safest way to transport a firearm?

  1. Loaded and holstered

  2. Unloaded and cased

  3. Loaded but with the safety on

  4. Assembled and ready to use

The correct answer is: Unloaded and cased

Transporting a firearm can be dangerous if not done properly. Option A - loaded and holstered, may seem like a safe option, but accidents can happen if the safety on the firearm malfunctions. Option C - loaded but with the safety on, can also pose a risk as anything can happen during transport. Option D - assembled and ready to use, is very unsafe as the firearm can potentially fire accidentally. The safest option is to transport the firearm unloaded and cased, as it minimizes the risk of accidental discharge and keeps the firearm securely contained.
