How can a firearm owner legally transport a firearm in a vehicle within California?

Unloaded and in a locked container
Loaded and on the passenger seat
Unloaded and in the glove compartment
Loaded and in a backpack

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a locked container

A firearm owner can legally transport a firearm in a vehicle within California by ensuring that the firearm is unloaded and stored in a locked container. This is because California law requires that firearms be unloaded and stored in a locked container, separate from the ammunition, while being transported in a vehicle. This measure helps prevent accidental discharge and unauthorized access to the firearm. Hence, option A is the correct choice. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not adhere to the California firearm transportation laws. Keeping a loaded firearm on the passenger seat, in the glove compartment, or in a backpack while in a vehicle violates the requirement for the firearm to be unloaded and stored in a locked container.
