There are also legislative requirements and regulations relating to transportation which contribute to public safety and reduced opportunities for theft. These include obligations that handguns and other firearms be unloaded and transported in a securely locked container and/or compartment when the vehicle is unattended. The specific requirements vary depending on the class of firearm. Transporting handguns – as well as other restricted or prohibited firearms – (e.g., to a shooting range) requires authorization.
