That law trumps state and local gun laws and protects interstate travel with firearms under certain circumstances...
Very interesting. What are these circumstances? A lot of NY hunters get in trouble taking roads in NJ between points in NY..

My understanding of the law is that as long as the person in possession of the firearm is in lawful posession in his state of origin and in the destination state he is protected by the law. Until individul cops are charged with violating individual rights under color of authority this wil continue.
