  2. It must be stored in the same room as the firearm, in a locked box.

Correct answer: It must be removed and stored in a different room that is securely locked.

The bolt or bolt-carrier is removed and stored in a different room. That room is kept securely locked and built so it cannot readily be broken open or into.
