What is required to transport a firearm through DC?

  1. The firearm must be unloaded and locked up

  2. The firearm must be registered in DC

  3. A special transportation permit

  4. No specific requirements

The correct answer is: The firearm must be unloaded and locked up

In Washington D.C., it is required that a firearm be unloaded and locked up when being transported. This measure is in place to ensure the safety and security of individuals during the transportation of firearms. By keeping the firearm unloaded and locked, the chances of accidents or unauthorized use are greatly reduced. It is essential for gun owners to adhere to these guidelines to prevent any potential incidents involving firearms. Options B and C are incorrect because firearms do not need to be registered in D.C. and there is no special transportation permit required for transporting firearms through the district. Option D is also incorrect as there are specific requirements that need to be followed when transporting a firearm through D.C., as mentioned above.
