Question: When transporting a non-restricted rifle in a vehicle without a locked compartment, which of the following is the minimum legal requirement for securing the firearm?

Answer options: ✅ It must be unloaded and rendered inoperable by a secure locking device, or have the bolt removed.

  • It must be unloaded and cased, with ammunition stored separately.
  • It must be unloaded and placed in the trunk of the vehicle.
  • It must be unloaded and visible to law enforcement, yet inaccessible from the driver's seat.

Correct answer: It must be unloaded and rendered inoperable by a secure locking device, or have the bolt removed.

Explanation: According to the Firearms Act and its regulations, a non-restricted firearm transported in a vehicle without a locked compartment must be unloaded and rendered inoperable by a secure locking device, such as a trigger lock or cable lock, or have a critical component like the bolt removed, or be in a locked container that is not easily broken open. This ensures the firearm cannot be readily used.
