If you go on the road headed to FL are there any issues transporting pistol though other states such as SC or GA if Federal guidelines are followed as per the NJSP website ? Also if you had planed stops along the way for overnight lodging in SC or GA would that be acceptable? Thanks in advance

I don't really understand your question.

 

Is it legal to transport a pistol to Florida? Yes. As long as you follow all federal transportation laws.

 

If you have a ccw follow all states laws.

 

If you are transporting in a secured case in the trunk and stop for night at a hotel just bring the pistol case into your room with you. I wouldn't recommend leaving it in your car.

@ John – that is it, yes I do have Fl & VA ccw but not looking to carry along the way. I'm more or less concerned with an over night stop. Its not like here where it’s TO and FROM the range with no stopping along the way..Thanks!

The only state were you might have an issue with an overnight stop is MD. Can't see any problems in other states. Transport IAW FOPA and you should have no problem. Keep in mind some states allow you to have a loaded pistol accessible to you in the car even if you don't have a carry permit.

I see, I found more info here in another forum. post #6 pretty much my reinforces your reply

What about SC? They only issue permits to residents (or property owners, or military stationed there) and only recognize resident permits.
