6. This comes up from time to time

so...

18 U.S. Code § 926A - Interstate transportation of firearms

any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle

The short interpretation:

If you are travelling from point A to point B AND you are legally allowed to own/possess a firearm in both points A and B, you are in compliance with the law and allowed passage. make sure that you have the firearms locked in your trunk and not in the glove box or center console.
