Are you traveling "through" New York, as you wrote, or are you traveling "to" New York? Unless you are truly traveling through NY to a state where you can legally possess a handgun (which would mean Connecticut or Vermont), you cannot even enter New York state with a handgun unless you choose to be an instant felon. You can't even touch a handgun in NY state unless you have a NY permit -- and NY doesn't issue non-resident permits.
