Question: Scenario 46: A licensed firearm owner is transporting their restricted handgun to an approved shooting range. Which of the following storage methods is compliant with Canadian regulations for transport?

Answer options:

• The handgun is unloaded, in a locked container, with the ammunition stored in the same container but in a separate compartment.
• The handgun is unloaded and secured with a trigger lock, placed out of sight under the seat, with ammunition in the glove compartment. ✅ The handgun is unloaded, rendered inoperable by a secure locking device, and stored in a locked, opaque container that cannot be easily broken into, kept out of sight.
• The handgun is unloaded, in a hard-sided locked case, with ammunition stored openly in the trunk of the vehicle.

Correct answer: The handgun is unloaded, rendered inoperable by a secure locking device, and stored in a locked, opaque container that cannot be easily broken into, kept out of sight.

Explanation: For restricted firearms during transport, they must be unloaded, rendered inoperable by a secure locking device (e.g., trigger lock), and stored in a locked, opaque container that cannot be easily broken into. This ensures the firearm is both secure and not visible to prevent theft or unauthorized access, as per the Storage, Display, Transportation and Handling of Firearms by Individuals Regulations. The correct answer is "The handgun is unloaded, rendered inoperable by a secure locking device, and stored in a locked, opaque container that cannot be easily broken into, kept out of sight.".
