Noob to the forum! Got invited to do some sporting clays in Long Island tomorrow. Also passing through NYC.

 

Planning on bringing my shotgun, un-assembled in a hard case, locked in my trunk and no ammo.

 

I always believed this was fine, I have looked everywhere for confirmation, any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

leave it to lawyers...instead of saying "you have 24 hours to transport you're legal firearm through Manhattan (unloaded and locked up)....you get 500 words of fluff..lawyers have destroyed this country
