The answer is no. Ask your local Police Department for forms about your state. For States you will be travelling through you will need to get their form and fill it out.

FOr instance: you want to transport 40 Shotguns from your house in North Carolina to a home in Virginia that your brother lives at, you will need forms for each state you pass trough.

Actually the answer for most states is yes, especially for long guns. Not only is it legal, but it requires no "forms" or other permissions. It is suggested that for longer journeys you transport guns unloaded, locked in a storage case, and out of the immediate vicinity of the vehicle operator. The trunk of a car is ideal.

The answer is YES, as long as you are leagaly allowed to own the firearm!! You must comply with the local laws but there are no forms you must fill out. Local laws are available online at the NRA website or other websites such as www.handgunlaws.com.

Here is an excerpt from the federal code that defines the legality of interstate transport.

Code of Federal Regulations

Title 18 - Part I - Chapter 44 - § 926a

§ 926A. Interstate transportation of firearms

Release date: 2005-08-03

Notwithstanding 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.
