LAR,
While that law is a great one, NJ and NY do not follow it. Yes its against federal law NOT to follow 926A. (Interstate transportation of firearms) and yes they are in the middle of a federal legal battle over it, it is still not followed. You can bring all the documentation and paper you want and at best they will give it back to you after you make bail. If you think I am joking just do a google search on the subject and you will see several law suits brought against each state from individuals for unlawful arrest, etc. Unfortunately since NJ and NY are in federal court over the matter all of these other lawsuits must wait.
On another note and back to the original question,
Your best bet is to do what another member suggested and get a name and number of someone. I highly suggest you use the state police rather than any local department. Also keep in mind, that peacable journey stops when you do. So if you stop to eat, or visit a friend, or theoretically stop to use the bathroom off of the highway, you are no longer covered under the law from what I understand (not that it matters since the law really isnt followed anyway :banghead: )
the best bet is to just stay out of NY. The reason I have this information is because I wrote both NJ and NY about flying out of their aiports with firearms checked in my luggage. After several return letters from a VERY long list of recipients as well as a phone call from the NRA-ILA in response to a copy of my letter that they received, I make sure I never fly out of NJ or NY no matter how much more convenient it would be.
If you are curious on who I have consulted here is the list of offices the that received my letter, granted this is more geared towards NJ, but still, you can see why Im :banghead: :banghead: over this topic.
