What is required to store a firearm in a home in DC?

It must be unloaded and locked
It must be disassembled
It must be kept on the owner's person
No special storage requirements

The correct answer is: It must be unloaded and locked

In Washington, D.C., it is required by law to store a firearm in a home unloaded and locked. This safety measure ensures that the firearm is not easily accessible to unauthorized individuals, such as children or visitors. Storing the firearm in this manner reduces the risk of accidental discharge or unauthorized use. It is important for gun owners to comply with storing their firearms safely to prevent any potential accidents or unauthorized access to their firearms. The other options are incorrect because just keeping the firearm disassembled or on the owner's person may not provide the necessary level of safety and security required by law. Additionally, stating that no special storage requirements are needed is not accurate as there are specific regulations in place for storing firearms in Washington, D.C.
