When transporting a firearm in a vehicle without a carry permit, how must the firearm be stored?

In a locked glove compartment
Unloaded and in a locked container
Unloaded and visible on the vehicle seat
Loaded but in a holster

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a locked container

While options A, C, and D may seem like viable solutions for transporting a firearm without a carry permit, they are actually incorrect. Option A may provide some level of security, but it is important to note that a glove compartment does not meet the legal definition of a locked container. Option C is also not a suitable option because it violates most states' laws regarding transport of firearms in a vehicle. Option D is also not a safe or legal solution as it violates laws regarding loaded firearms in a vehicle. Option B is the only correct answer because it ensures that the firearm is both unloaded and stored in a secure, locked container, which is important for both safety and legal reasons.
