When transporting a gun, it should be:

  1. Unloaded and locked in the trunk of your car or in a locked container.

  2. Loaded and placed on the passenger seat.

  3. Concealed under your jacket even if it's unloaded.

  4. Hung on the rearview mirror if unloaded.

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in the trunk of your car or in a locked container.

When transporting a gun, the best option is to have it unloaded and locked in the trunk of your car or in a locked container. This is the safest way to transport a gun as it ensures that it cannot be accessed by anyone else. Option B is incorrect because having a loaded gun in the passenger seat can cause an accidental discharge or be accessed by someone else. Option C is incorrect because in most places, it is illegal to carry a concealed, unloaded gun without a permit. Option D is incorrect because hanging a gun on the rearview mirror is not a secure way to transport it and can also be seen as a distraction while driving. Therefore, option A is the safest and most appropriate way to transport a gun.
