When transporting a firearm in a vehicle, how must the firearm be stored if you do not have a concealed weapon permit?

  1. In the glove compartment

  2. Unloaded in a locked box

  3. In a holster

  4. Loaded but not within reach

The correct answer is: Unloaded in a locked box

When transporting a firearm in a vehicle in South Carolina without a concealed weapon permit, the law requires that the firearm must be stored in a manner that ensures both safety and compliance with legal regulations. Specifically, the correct answer involves storing the firearm unloaded and in a locked box. This method effectively prevents access to the firearm by unauthorized individuals and reduces the risk of accidents during transport. Transporting the firearm unloaded in a locked box helps ensure that the firearm is not readily accessible, thus enhancing safety for both the driver and passengers. This storage method also aligns with legal requirements designed to promote responsible firearm handling and transportation practices.
