What is the safest way to transport a firearm?

  1. Unloaded and in a case.

  2. Loaded but on safety.

  3. Unloaded and assembled.

  4. Loaded and in a holster.

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a case.

The safest way to transport a firearm is to have it unloaded and in a case. This option ensures that the firearm is not readily accessible and decreases the chances of any accidental discharge. Having the firearm loaded, whether it is in a holster or on safety, still poses a risk as the gun can potentially fire if dropped or handled improperly. Additionally, having the firearm assembled means that it is easier to access and can also lead to accidental discharge. It is important to always prioritize safety when handling firearms, and this can be achieved by keeping the firearm unloaded and in a locked case during transport.
