Yes. Always check the laws of any states you will be driving through before transporting a firearm through that state, as different states may have different laws pertaining to the manner in which the firearm is transported.
<><><>
There is a Federal law that takes precedence over state law- if the firearm is legal to possess at your point of origin AND at your destination. From Title 18, US code:
§ 926A. Interstate transportation of firearmsNotwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, 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: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.
