The interstate transport of firearms is regulated by federal law. Title 18 chapter 44 section 926 A

TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

                            PART I--CRIMES

                         CHAPTER 44--FIREARMS

Sec. 926A. Interstate transportation of firearms

   Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or
regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person
who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting,
shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a
firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully
possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully
possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the
firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being
transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the
passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in
the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's
compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked
container other than the glove compartment or console.


It wouldn't hurt to check the law in each state you plan on traveling through.
