When transporting a firearm in a vehicle in Connecticut, how must it be stored?

Unloaded and locked in the trunk
Loaded but in a locked container
On the back seat, unloaded
Without any special requirements

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in the trunk

When transporting a firearm in a vehicle in Connecticut, it must be stored unloaded and locked in the trunk. This requirement ensures that the firearm is not easily accessible and reduces the risk of accidental discharge or misuse. Storing a firearm in this manner also helps to comply with safety regulations and prevent unauthorized access. Option B, which suggests storing the firearm loaded but in a locked container, is not the correct choice because Connecticut law mandates firearms to be transported unloaded. Option C, stating that the firearm can be on the back seat but unloaded, is incorrect as firearms must be stored in the trunk. Option D, claiming that there are no special requirements for transporting a firearm in a vehicle in Connecticut, is also incorrect since specific guidelines, such as storing the firearm unloaded and locked in the trunk, must be followed.
