in a separate place.

Never carry a loaded firearm in a vehicle unless you are carrying one for
self-defense, in which case it must be legal to do so in your state or
municipality. If this is the case, your firearm should be secured with safety on
in a holster, case or other conveyance so that it cannot accidently fire.

your cleaning area is well-ventilated.

the procedures recommended in the gun's owner's manual.
