What is required to transport a firearm through Washington D.C?

  1. The firearm must be unloaded and locked in a container

  2. Open carry of the firearm

  3. A special transportation permit

  4. Nothing, there are no special requirements

The correct answer is: The firearm must be unloaded and locked in a container

In order to transport a firearm through Washington D.C, the firearm must be unloaded and locked in a container. This is because open carry of a firearm is not legal in Washington D.C without a special transportation permit. Therefore, option A is the only correct answer. Option B is incorrect because open carry is not allowed in Washington D.C. Option C is misleading because while a special transportation permit may be required to transport a firearm in some states, it is not the case in Washington D.C. Lastly, option D is incorrect as there are indeed special requirements in place for transporting a firearm through Washington D.C.
