What is required to transport a firearm through DC?

  1. The firearm must be unloaded and locked in a container

  2. An open carry permit

  3. A special transportation license

  4. Nothing, if you are passing straight through

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

When transporting a firearm through DC, it is required that the firearm is unloaded and locked in a container. This ensures the safety of everyone involved. Option B is incorrect because open carry is not allowed in DC. Option C is also incorrect as there is no such thing as a special transportation license for firearms in DC. Option D may seem like a possible answer, but it is actually incorrect because while it is legal to transport a firearm through DC, it must still be unloaded and locked in a container. Therefore, the only correct option is A.
