We might make the move from western Colorado to New Hampshire.

I've been trying to think of ways to get my shit out there.  I'd have to go through NY and  possible MA with handguns, silencers, and semi auto rifles that don't conform with certain states AWB's?

I know there is a Federal law that states that you can transport anything as long as it's egal in both the origin as well as the destination state.  Am I right on this?

yes, just dont get pulled over

and update your nfa paperwork for travel to that state

Quoted: You couldn't pay me to drive through NY or NJ. There have been many confirmed reports of NY ignoring the federal transportation law and making arrests on the spot. I would seriously consider driving around these states, especially with silencers and such.

A traffic stop in NY could easily turn into front page news.

How would you drive around New York if you lived in NH and were going to CO?

How do you drive to NH without going through NYS? Canada is NOT an option.

Quoted: Quoted: How would you drive around New York if you lived in NH and were going to CO? Canada.

Yeah I am sure Canadian boarder police are going to let you into their country with cans.

I would just bury the guns as far into the U-haul as you can get and don't get pulled over.

Quoted: Also wanted to add.... I drove all my guns out of NY 2yrs ago when I moved to Ohio, talk about being freaked out for 2.5hrs while on the thruway. It was not a fun situation. All my stuff was NY preban or post ban compliant but I would have been big news somewhere if I had been caught. I have never been so happy to see PA in my life.

That is me driving through MD when I see family in PA.  Long 9 miles.

You don't have to go through MA. If you are driving a moving truck build a wooden crate, seal everything inside it and load it into the truck as the first item. Pack all your other crap around it. Just observe all the traffic laws, make sure you have the rental agreement and be sure all your lights are working. You'll be fine.

If you end up in jail IM the Penguin and he'll bail you out.

Quoted: Could you mail your goods to a FFL in NH?

He can ship everything to himself using a common carrier. Unfortunately he will have to declare the 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.

Unfortunately you have to at least go through New York to get from there to here … Your best bet is probably to cut across Pennsylvania, pick up Route 84 to Route 87, follow that North up through Albany then cut over to South Eastern Vermont on a secondary highway … You'll only be in New York State for about an hour and a half if you stick to the highways, and will bypass Massachusetts completely. Once you're in Vermont you can get over to NH at your own pace.

Christ, what has become of this country where people exercising their Constitutional right to keep and bear arms have to move like they're on the Underground Railroad.

Why the hell are you moving to New England (it is almost as bad as Old England)?

Do you not understand how good you have it in Colorado?

Yeah, last time I moved, I just laid the safe back side down in the trailer, and used it to store all my broken down rifles.  I used towels and cardboard to separate everything and protect them.  Worked out pretty well.

I'm thinking this is my best option, along with driving like a saint - set the cruise control at the speed limit.

My wife is  an attorney as well.  She knows the deal.

Quoted: Why the hell are you moving to New England (it is almost as bad as Old England)? Do you not understand how good you have it in Colorado?

Yeah, I'm still working on trying to get her to stay out here.  All of our family is in NY, and I need easier airport access to be able to fly to Florida more frequently.

Don't remind me about leaving CO.

I'd make sure all the guns are taken apart and in the back under a ton of stuff. Then just drive extremely carefully and obey all the traffic laws. If you get pulled over, you might get a cop who doesn't know or care about the federal law for transporting firearms and he may decide to take it further. Then again, you may get a cop who does know what the law is and respects your  rights. You just never know.

The cans worry me though. They are one of those things that don't "seem" legal, so most people assume they aren't and don't know the truth.

NH is the next to lowest taxed state in the nation and has better gun laws than CO. NH has everything an outdoors man/sportsman could want and a high tech low unemployment and no welfare economy.  The surrounding states of VT (No CCW req.) and ME (CCW at 18) are also super gun friendly. NH and ME also have some of the finest hunting and fishing in the U.S. if you are a hunter or fisherman.

NH has become a "blue" state and will shortly have a sales and incomes tax as well.  Too many Massholes moved in, you are screwed.

I'd wait till this November.  There might be some retribution after the somewhat socialist takeover last election.

Except my egress route went through Jersey as well...NY I wasn't worried about, but all those banned by name items and mags in NJ was enough to make me drive carefully...

Keep the Cans and guns in the gun safe. If they pull you over, they wouldn't be able to even see what was inside unless you opened it for them, which you wouldn't. Problem solved.

NH needs more freedom loving citizens to kick the taxachusetts assholes back to taxachusetts. AFAIK 70% of the NH population is opposed to a state income or sales tax.

NH state law preempts a local jurisdiction from regulating firearms and the state constitution protects the right to bear arms "All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state". Open/concealed carry of firearms is even legal in the NH state house.

AFAIK NH is the only state in the union that provides for the overthrow of the state government.

[Art.] 10.

The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

Ahh.  The more I read and hear stuff like that, the more I want to move there.

Although gun laws are generally great here, the Kalifornicators are coming, and I think the complete state will be Dem. come November.  I do love it here, though.

Come on up, We need all the help we can get taking the state back from the hippies!!

What part of NH are you moving to?..If your gonna be south of Tilton , watch your ass!!!and Concord South it is almost like being in Boston!!!!

You travel through NYS at your own risk.

NJ in theory does recognize USC 926A

http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/about/fire_trans.html

     D. Whenever an officer has probable cause to believe that a person's possession of a firearm is in violation of New Jersey law and not permitted by 18 U.S.C.A. 926A, as described above in Section II, then the officer should make an arrest.

NY isn't that bad, most highways are 65 and you won't get pulled over unless you doing 80+

Just stay the hell out of NYC and you'll be fine, a lot of the upstate counties are fine with firearms.
