A federal law...............
Volkmer-McClure says you can have your firearm unloaded, locked in a container, and stored in a readily un-accessible place in your vehicle,(trunk) and can transport it through ANY state, as long as you are traveling straight through, and not making any prolonged stops. Stopping for meals, or gas, is ok, but stopping to see an old friend for several hours is not! This law supercedes any state laws. Also, you must be traveling to a state where your firearm will be legal. I have transported through New Jersey, Maryland, Connecticut and New York under this law. I was going to New Hampshire, a state that recognizes my CCW.
