Call your local BATF office and ask for the regulation(law) that
you would need to quote and if you ask nice they may even send you a
copy of it. I am a licensed dealer and I do have the regs with me
and Federal law says that you can transport a firearm between two
states (and through all of the 48 if you want to) if you are allowed
to have it in the beginning state and the ending state. IT WILL NOT
WORK FOR TRANSPORTING A FIREARM THROUGH A CITY THAT HAS OUTLAWED
THAT FIREARM IF YOU STAY IN THE SAME STATE. THAT IS AN INTRASTATE
MOVE AND NOT AN INTERSTATE MOVE.

All of this is forgotten in New Jersey were ALL of your rights are
suspended when you enter the state with a firearm. They seem to
believe that they are a separate country and do not have to abide
by the Constitution.
