Which of the following is a recommended practice for transporting firearms?

  1. Carrying the firearm loaded for protection

  2. Disassembling the firearm if possible

  3. Unloading and casing the firearm

  4. Keeping the firearm on the passenger seat for easy access

The correct answer is: Unloading and casing the firearm

When transporting firearms, safety is of utmost importance. One of the recommended practices for transporting firearms is to unload and case the firearm. This helps prevent accidental discharge and ensures that the firearm is secure during transportation. Keeping the firearm loaded or easily accessible, as mentioned in options A and D, can be dangerous and increase the risk of accidents. Disassembling the firearm, as suggested in option B, might not be practical or necessary for safe transportation. Therefore, the best practice is to always unload the firearm and securely case it during transportation.
