What is the best way to transport firearms safely?

  1. Loaded and assembled in the backseat

  2. Unloaded and cased

  3. Handed to another person

  4. With the safety on

The correct answer is: Unloaded and cased

Transporting firearms safely is crucial for both your own safety and those around you. Option A is incorrect because it is dangerous to transport a loaded and assembled firearm in the backseat as it increases the risk of accidental discharge. Option C is also incorrect because it is not safe to hand a firearm off to another person while in a moving vehicle. Option D may seem like a good idea, but the safety can sometimes fail and it is best to take extra precautions. This leaves Option B as the best choice, as it ensures the firearm is unloaded and properly stored in a case to prevent any mishaps.
