[rickwhoo]

Is it legal to have a firearm in my car safely unloaded if I drive into NY State to pick up a friend and go back into PA?

NO

You have to treat going into New York State like going from West to East Germany during the Cold War.

I would be willing to bet 9/10 people who do this will get away with. But the consequences of getting caught are to high to risk being the 1 out of 10.

So......shoot every threat along the way?

That path you don't have federal transportation law protection, you're beholden to NYS laws. Not sure but I bet they have some crap like you have to go directly to a range or back if you don't have a license.

IANAL but my understanding is that they have two separate permits. The lower grade one allows you to transport your gun back and forth to a range and the other one allows you to CC. And that's after you get the permit to own a pistol.

No, absolutely NO.

You need a NY permit to merely touch a handgun in NY let alone own or carry.

And FOPA doesn't cover such a trip.

Assume that you have no rights in New York state.
