I don't know if we can arrive at a definitive answer to this or if we can just speculate but:
Let's say I live in and am a resident of a state with very restrictive gun transport laws and let's leave New York out of this. I am going to take a trip to visit relatives in another state, such as Wyoming, with almost no restrictions. So I lock the unloaded handgun and my ammo in the trunk which, for the sake of argument, would be an illegal method of transport in my home state. Other than the condition of transport, though, I am otherwise legal to possess the handgun. My intention is to head straight for the border and leave the state.
Does FOPA cover me while in my home state with the intent to travel interstate?
What if I pass through my state of residence while traveling between two other states? Would the fact that I am a resident of the state that I am passing through make a difference?
Thanks! (You all know me, I prefer quoted citations if there are any!)
