Transporting Firearms Through New York
Individuals who are planning to travel to New York with their firearms are recommended to bring a copy of the Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 44, 926A of the United States code during the travel. Not all law enforcement officers are aware of this law. Secure the firearms in locked containers and separated the ammunition in another box. Ammunition should not be inserted in the magazines. The state of New York allows transporting within the state if the state where the individual started and the state of destination legally allows him to possess such, provided that he will not spend the night in New York or he will be charged with violation of the law and can be arrested. Stopping for food and gas may be okay.
