The first thing you have to check is whether the state you are in recognizes the CCW from the state you came from. If it does not, then you have to follow the law as if you did not have a CCW at all. For example, California does not recognize a CCW from any other state (and therefore the only way to legally transport a firearm is unloaded and in a locked container). NYC does not recognize any CCW other than those issued by the City itself, not even NYS CCWs, and furthermore does not abide by the federal safe harbor transport provisions of FOPA. If you are found in possession of a firearm, you will be arrested (has happened with regularity at the airport) and charged with a misdemeanor, which you may fight, but the cost of defense far exceeds the value of the gun that you will never see again. I suspect that NJ doesn't have reciprocity for any other state either. Until recently, it was pretty much the same in D.C.
