Your unattended vehicle has no lockable trunk. What must be true of a non-restricted firearm inside?

  1. It is visible, so police can check it without a warrant.
  2. It is not visible, and the doors may stay unlocked if the engine is off.
  3. It is covered, but only the engine is off.
  4. It is not visible, and the vehicle or that part is locked.
Show answer

Correct answer: It is not visible, and the vehicle or that part is locked.

Without a lockable trunk, the firearm must be out of sight and the vehicle, or the part that holds the firearm, must be locked.
