NY still doesnt think it applies to them. That is why no other state likes to deal with them, honors their permit, or exstridites anyone acused of it. I went through several states and stayed at several when I was on holiday break. The police officer that I called where I stayed in ny told me that technically even having it in ny was possession of a unregistered handgun. He then said "our laws are really messed up up here" Then I asked what did he propose that I did with it if I couldnt lock it in my trunk. He didnt say anything. So, it went in peices and when I hit PA I stopped the car, loaded it back up and strapped it back on. The kicker is that I passed about 30miles through md not realizing it, was carrying it and stopped at a rest area. The place was really weard and I was the only one there at 10pm except for one truck driver and a druggy that worked contracting there. After being approached by the truck driver my wife said she was glad I had it. I said F*** it once I realized I was in md and about 10miles from VA.
Big thing, dont do anything to get your vehicle searched and you will not have a problem. In this case riding down the road smoking a blunt would do that. I dont think anyone on here would do that but you would be surprised. Once they smell it and see it or the person says "someone did in here earlier" they have the car and can search even the trunk. However, locked boxes in the trunk still need a warrent. Why am I saying this? Well because locked firearms in the trunk are way outside the realm of any CCW laws and should be protected with the federal law.
