What must an individual do before transporting a firearm within New Jersey?

Notify local law enforcement
Unload and securely lock the firearm in a container
Carry the firearm openly to avoid suspicion
Ensure the firearm is visible to avoid concealment charges

The correct answer is: Unload and securely lock the firearm in a container

An individual must unload and securely lock the firearm in a container before transporting it within New Jersey to comply with state laws. This measure is designed to enhance public safety and prevent accidental discharges during transport. New Jersey law emphasizes the importance of proper storage while firearms are being transported, ensuring that they cannot be easily accessed or used inappropriately. By securing the firearm, individuals demonstrate responsible ownership and adherence to safety protocols. The other choices do not represent the legal requirements for firearm transport in New Jersey. For instance, notifying local law enforcement is not a mandated procedure, and carrying a firearm openly or ensuring its visibility would not address safety concerns or legal standards regarding transport. These alternatives may lead to misunderstandings about the proper procedural requirements when transporting firearms in the state.
