lol you fly with a pistol to any state in the usa. so you can drive through every state with a pistol. hunters have been doing it for how long now.
I wish it were that simple and made that much sense. OTOH, there are a number of states that are MUCH more restrictive about transporting guns that are LA and TX. If one doesn't already know the laws of a state, the BEST idea is to look up those state specific laws yourself before transporting a gun through that state. Laws vary depending on whether one's transporting a long gun or handgun. There's a lot of variance on how to legally transport a gun in different states. In some states (e.g. CT), one could still get in trouble for having ammo and gun in separate containers, yet accessible to the driver/passenger.
"Carrying Handguns in Motor Vehicles. By law, when handguns are being transported in a motor vehicle, they must be unloaded and kept in a place (1) not readily or directly accessible from the passenger compartment or (2) locked container other than the glove compartment or console. A violation carries a penalty of one to five years imprisonment, a fine of up to $1,000, or both, with a mandatory minimum one-year sentence in the absence of mitigating circumstances. Any handgun found in the violator's possession must be forfeited (CGS §§ 29-35 and 29-37)."
This is a very good website to reference when looking up info on gun related issues.
