When transporting a firearm in a vehicle without a container, how should it be transported?

  1. Concealed anywhere in the vehicle

  2. Loaded in the glove compartment

  3. Unloaded in a locked trunk

  4. Unloaded on the back seat

The correct answer is: Unloaded in a locked trunk

Transporting a firearm in a vehicle requires adherence to specific legal guidelines to ensure safety and compliance with the law. The practice of transporting a firearm unloaded in a locked trunk is safe and reduces the risk of unauthorized access, ensuring that the firearm is not readily accessible while driving. This method promotes responsibility and minimizes the chance of accidents, theft, or misuse. Carrying a firearm in a locked trunk also adheres to California laws, which often require firearms to be unloaded and securely stored during transport. This practice is a standard recommendation for firearm safety, as it protects both the vehicle’s occupants and others on the road. Additionally, it limits the firearm's visibility, thus preventing potential theft or unwanted attention.
