Traveling in a Vehicle with a Firearm without a New York Permit

January 11, 2016

The state of New York does not allow carrying of loaded firearms in vehicles without a valid New York permit. It is okay to transport a firearm within New York from a state that allows an individual to carry legally to a state which also allows carrying for that individual. The trip should not be interrupted or the individual will be charged for breaking the law. New York also considers carrying of firearms that can contain more than 10 round as illegal. When transporting a firearm through New York, it is important to use extreme caution and know all the rules of the state.

From the NRA/ILA:
It is illegal to transport a firearm for an individual unless he or she has a valid New York carry permit. Carrying of firearms during interstate travel shall be allowed provided that the firearm is unloaded and secured in a container or separated in the compartment.
