When transporting a handgun in a vehicle without a concealed handgun permit in North Carolina, the firearm must be:

Loaded and within easy reach
Unloaded and locked in the vehicle's trunk
Visible on the passenger seat
Carried openly on the person

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked in the vehicle's trunk

In North Carolina, it is illegal to transport a handgun in a vehicle without a concealed handgun permit with the firearm being loaded, easily accessible, or carried openly on the person. This is to ensure the safety of the driver and others on the road. Option A is incorrect because a loaded firearm within easy reach could potentially lead to accidental discharge or be easily accessible to an unauthorized person. Option C is incorrect because a visible handgun can cause alarm to others and also does not guarantee the security of the firearm. Option D is incorrect as openly carrying a handgun requires a permit and is not allowed in a vehicle. Thus, the correct way to transport a handgun without a permit in North Carolina is to ensure it is unloaded and locked in the vehicle's trunk. This ensures the safety and security of the firearm while also following the state's laws.
