What actions should a firearm owner take if they cannot secure the weapon?

When a firearm owner finds themselves in a situation where they cannot secure their weapon, the most appropriate course of action is to refrain from making any stops. This approach minimizes the risk of leaving the firearm unattended or in a situation where it could be accessed by unauthorized individuals. By continuing their journey without stopping, the owner ensures that the weapon remains under their control and reduces the likelihood of it becoming lost, stolen, or mishandled.

Maintaining a steady course and not stopping supports a responsible and precautionary attitude toward firearm ownership and safety. Prioritizing the continued supervision and management of the firearm is essential in promoting safety for both the owner and the community around them.
