Ok
Thanks. Nothing like Bottom Line Up Front and not burying your question in the middle of thread, LOL.
He wants to drive from Pennsylvania to Buffalo NY to catch a plane to San Diego?
If he is legal to own the pistol in Pennsylvania and legal to own it in San Diego the he should be protected by FOPA.
Aguila Blanca is right though in that he is taking a risk just because he is in the New York/New Jersey area. I would call the airline and confirm their traveling with firearms rules and make a good assessment of your travel plans to ensure you will be "uninterrupted" if he decides to take that risk.
