I placed a phone call to the NYS Police and asked about taking my rifle to the range to shoot, since I have an SUV I have no trunk. The trooper that I was talking to laughed and said I could tie it to the luggage rack on top of the SUV. He had a sense of humor, lol. Then he said seriously it is fine to have your rifle in the back of the SUV in a case with the ammo in a separate case or range bag. He also said the law to have guns in the trunk was a very very old law made to help stop poachers from having a loaded gun in their vehicle and shooting game out of the vehicle.
Possessing a hand gun in NYS without a permit is supposed to be a mandatory 1 year jail term, but in almost every instance it is reduced or pleaded down with no jail time.
