When transporting a firearm in a vehicle in Indiana without a permit, how must the firearm be stored?

Loaded and within easy reach
Unloaded and locked in the trunk
Unloaded and in the glove compartment
Loaded but in a locked case

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in the trunk

In Indiana, when transporting a firearm in a vehicle without a permit, the law requires that the firearm be unloaded and secured in a locked compartment, such as the trunk. This transportation method helps ensure safety and compliance with state laws regarding firearm storage. The emphasis on "unloaded" is crucial, as carrying a loaded firearm without a permit can lead to legal consequences. Locking the firearm in the trunk minimizes the risk of accidental discharge and prevents unauthorized access while the vehicle is unattended. It is also a best practice for ensuring that individuals who may not have the appropriate permits do not inadvertently violate laws regarding concealed carry. The other options listed would pose potential legal issues, as they do not adhere to the regulations for transporting firearms in a vehicle without a proper permit.
