The Firearms Owners Protection Act covers travel through intervening states when traveling from one state where possession of firearms is legal to another state where possession of firearms is legal. What it requires is that the firearm(s) be unloaded and stored in trunk. If the vehicle does not have a trunk (SUV or pickup truck), the gun(s) or the ammunition must be stored in a
locked container.
