To comply with all statutes, how should firearms be transported?

Firearms should be transported unloaded and secured in a case to ensure safety and compliance with state regulations. This method minimizes the risk of accidental discharge during transportation. Additionally, being transported by an individual with a Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card is crucial because it serves as proof that the person is legally allowed to possess firearms in Illinois, adhering to any legal requirements for firearm ownership and transport. Carrying firearms in a case protects them from damage while also reducing the likelihood of causing public alarm or concern.

Other choices fail to fully address the legal requirements or safe practices. For instance, transporting a loaded firearm poses a significant safety risk and may not comply with legal standards. Likewise, having a firearm visible without ammunition does not provide adequate security or meet the recommendations for safe transportation.
