To legally transport a firearm in a vehicle in Rhode Island, how must the firearm be stored?

Unloaded and in a locked container
Unloaded and in the glove compartment
Loaded but not chambered
Any of the above methods

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a locked container

In the state of Rhode Island, it is illegal to transport a firearm in a vehicle unless it is unloaded and stored in a locked container. This is for the safety of both the gun owner and others on the road. Option B is incorrect because storing a firearm in the glove compartment, even if unloaded, is considered accessible to the driver and therefore not securely stored. Option C is incorrect as it is illegal to transport a loaded firearm in a vehicle, even if the chamber is not loaded. Option D is incorrect because only option A meets the legal requirements for transporting a firearm in a vehicle in Rhode Island.
