What is the recommended method to transport firearms safely?

  1. Unloaded and cased

  2. Loaded but on safety

  3. Uncased and assembled

  4. Loaded in a holster

The correct answer is: Unloaded and cased

Firearms safety should always be a top priority when transporting firearms. The best method is to transport them unloaded and cased. Option B, while the firearm may be technically "safe", leaves room for human error and accidents. Option C is not recommended as the firearm is not properly secured and could potentially cause harm. Option D is also not recommended as it is important to keep firearms out of reach when not in use, and a holster does not provide enough protection. It is always best to err on the side of caution and transport firearms unloaded and cased to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you.
