What is the recommendation for safely transporting a firearm?

  1. Loaded and assembled

  2. Unloaded and in a case

  3. With the safety off

  4. Assembled but no ammunition

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a case

It is recommended to transport a firearm safely by keeping it unloaded and in a case. This option ensures that the gun is not loaded and ready to use if it were to accidentally discharge while being transported. Transporting the firearm in this manner also prevents it from being easily accessible and potentially falling into the wrong hands. Options A and D, involving a loaded and/or assembled firearm, increase the risk of accidents and should be avoided. Option C, having the safety off, also poses a safety risk and should not be done. Therefore, option B is the safest and most responsible way to transport a firearm.
