A long gun or a handgun?

According to fed regs, you can transport through NYS if you can legally have the firearm in the destination state. However, you can not stop in NYS ( other than for a quick rest area break and gas). NYS police will confiscate any firearm found in your vehicle that does not meet our NYS assault weapon laws, or any handgun that is not registered in NYS. Don't even dream about driving anywhere near NYC....You might eventually get them back but it'll cost you time and effort.

IMO, don't bring a handgun though NYS, and don't bring in a long gun that does not comply with NYS law.
