Another example, but opposite in how it affects us as citizens:

There is no Federal law that prohibits the
lawful owner of a firearm from traveling anywhere in the country with it
in his/her possession. It must be unloaded and out of reach or in a
locked container. Felons and several other status categories are
prohibited but in fact there is a federal law known as the "Firearms
Owners’ Protection Act, or FOPA, that protects those who are
transporting firearms for lawful purposes from local restrictions which
would otherwise prohibit passage."

Yet, many states and localities, especially along the east coast, have
laws against having a firearm with you, even when just passing through.

I've heard of cases like that at NY airports where people found
themselves with an unlicensed gun after their connecting flight was
canceled. In NY that will get you mandatory time in the slam and even
possession of handgun ammunition can get you in trouble.

It might be safer to send the gun and ammo on ahead via UPS or FedEx.
