Little help here...
I am going to be making a road trip from Austin to PA near Baltimore helping a friend move, and then it turns to family vacation where we intend to visit a few New England towns including DC, Boston, and NY.
Given that I am going to be passing through a dozen states and on the road for over a week with my family I don't want to leave the guns at home for the duration. However it looks like the MA, MD and NY laws are really impossible even if you are just transporting a gun in your car and not planning to stay in any of these states.
We will be lodging first in PA and then passing through MD and DC. Then we will be continuing to NY, MA, and down the coast. I anticipate we will spend one night in NYC and likely not stay in MA overnight but we will be spending most of a day in Boston.
So...
Is there any really workable solution for me?
At present I am trying to figure a way that we can leave the gun secured in a hotel in a friendly state while day-tripping to the other states. I think the odds are slim that I can talk my wife out of spending the night in NYC so that's my main sticking point. We're from TX so we're used to driving half the day to go somewhere
