What should hunters not do with their firearms while transporting?

Displaying a firearm openly on a window rack while transporting is not advisable for several reasons. First, it can create unnecessary concern or fear among the general public, which could lead to misinterpretations about the intent of the individual carrying the firearm. Additionally, displaying a firearm increases the risk of theft or unauthorized access, as it may attract attention from those who would seek to take advantage of the situation.

Keeping the firearm cased and unloaded, ensuring safety measures are applied, and checking the legality of firearm transportation in each state are all responsible practices that promote safety and compliance with laws. These measures help to protect both the hunter and the public, emphasizing the importance of firearm safety and responsibility during transport.
