A prohibited firearm has a locking device. What else is needed if no special vault is used?

  1. Nothing else is needed if the locking device is a cable lock.
  2. It must be in a locked container or room that is hard to break open.
  3. It must be hung on a wall of the room, in plain view of the door.
  4. It must be wrapped in a thick blanket and put under a bed or in a closet.

Correct answer: It must be in a locked container or room that is hard to break open.

A prohibited firearm needs a locking device and a locked, strong container, receptacle or room. A special locked vault, safe or room is the other choice.
