What is required for an individual to transport a firearm through D.C.?

The firearm must be unloaded and locked in a container
Open carry of the firearm
A special permit from the police department
Verbal consent from the D.C. Mayor

The correct answer is: The firearm must be unloaded and locked in a container

To transport a firearm through D.C., it is required that the firearm must be unloaded and locked in a container. This safety precaution ensures that the firearm is not easily accessible and cannot be fired accidentally during transportation. It is essential to follow these guidelines to comply with D.C. gun laws and promote public safety. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: - Open carry of the firearm is generally not permitted in D.C., as it has strict gun laws. - A special permit from the police department is not a standard requirement for transporting a firearm through D.C. - Verbal consent from the D.C. Mayor is not a valid requirement for transporting a firearm and does not substitute for the proper safety measures mandated by law.
