When transporting a firearm in a vehicle without a LTC in Massachusetts, how must the firearm be stored?

In a locked container
Unloaded and within reach
Unloaded and not within reach
In the glove compartment

The correct answer is: In a locked container

If you do not have a license to carry (LTC) a firearm in Massachusetts, then you must store the firearm in a locked container when transporting it in a vehicle. This is to ensure the safety and security of the firearm and prevent it from being easily accessible. Option B is incorrect because the firearm should not be within reach, even if it is unloaded. Option C is also incorrect because although the firearm should be unloaded, it should also be stored in a locked container. Option D is incorrect because storing the firearm in the glove compartment does not meet the requirement of it being in a locked container. Therefore, the best and safest option is to store the firearm in a locked container when transporting it without a LTC in Massachusetts.
