The Federal law about legally  transporting weapons from point A to Point B. I know all the exclusions and debate about what contitutes through travel and all that. I know how NYS has said it wont comply with the law, etc , etc. I've seen all that in previous threads in the topic. I need to have the actual text of the law handy. I've done a search and cant find it, probably because I am forgetting the actual title of the law. We had a discussion at work about it the other day because some guy from TX was tagged at the airport while trying to fly back home with his pistol, and I brought up that law and none of the people around the table had even heard of it.
Thanks
