In about a month, I'll be driving from Maryland to Washington. My household goods will be in a Pod (or an ABF U-Pack trailer, which is essentially the same thing). I'm trying to figure out the safest way to transport my spoons cross country -- a shotgun, two ARs, and a couple of handguns.

The apparent options:
1 - Keep them with me, in my car. Up-side: I always know where they are. Down-side: They might get confiscated by some overzealous law enforcement along the way. Also, they take up quite a bit of the limited space in my car.
2 - Put them in the trailer with the rest of my stuff. I believe the trailer will be sealed, and I'll get it back on the other side to remove the seal, so the likelihood of theft or confiscation seems low. But having them out of my direct control makes me nervous.
3 - Ship them to a Washington State FFL. Expensive, but it's the most likely way to get a successful outcome.

Thoughts? Who's done this before? What's the Right Answer(tm)?

Thanks,
Dan
