What is required to transport a firearm through DC to another state?

The firearm must be unloaded and locked
A special transportation permit
Notification to DC police 48 hours in advance
Open carry during transportation

The correct answer is: The firearm must be unloaded and locked

To transport a firearm through Washington D.C. to another state, it is required that the firearm is unloaded and locked. This precaution ensures that the firearm is not readily accessible and cannot be immediately used, promoting safety during transportation. Having the firearm unloaded and locked also helps prevent accidents or unauthorized use of the weapon. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because Washington D.C. does not require a special transportation permit, notification to DC police 48 hours in advance, or open carry during transportation for transporting a firearm through the city to another state. The key requirement is simply to have the firearm unloaded and locked while in transit.
