There's an oft repeated story about a teacher from Va that was traveling through NJ on her way to her new home in Maine(?). She was stopped on the NJ Turnpike for a traffic violation and when the Trouper asked if he could search her car she gave permission thinking she had nothing to hide. He found her legal in Va. handgun in her trunk, with the bullets out of the gun and in a different bag, but she didn't have a gun permit for NJ. She was arrested and faced 5 years (mandatory sentence) in jail. From what I understand, since she was legal in Va to have the gun she was eventually able to plea bargain her way out of the jail time, but it cost her thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees.
Moral of the story... know the laws of the states you are traveling through, not just the state you will be in. It's far cheaper to have a dealer ship the gun to your home state.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
