What constitutes a safe storage violation in DC?

Leaving a firearm unloaded with a trigger lock
Storing a firearm in a locked container
Failing to secure a firearm away from minors
Keeping a firearm in your vehicle

The correct answer is: Failing to secure a firearm away from minors

Failing to secure a firearm away from minors constitutes a safe storage violation in DC. This is the correct answer because DC gun laws require firearms to be stored in a manner that prevents access by minors. Leaving a firearm unloaded with a trigger lock (Option A) is a safety measure and not a violation. Storing a firearm in a locked container (Option B) is also a recommended way to safely store firearms. Keeping a firearm in your vehicle (Option D) may or may not be a violation depending on how it is stored and if it is accessible to unauthorized individuals.
