The Firearms Owners Protection Act states that, so long as your firearm is legal at the point of origin and the destination, you're protected from prosecution if you travel through a state where it is not legal. For example, you have an AR-15 with two or more of the cosmetic features banned under New York law, and you're traveling from Maine to Texas - both of which are states where it is legal - through New York, you're protected from prosecution in that state. However, if you stop in New York to sleep for a few hours, then you're in violation of that law. That was Dustin Reininger's situation. He was traveling from Maine to Texas with magazines with capacities of more than 10 rounds. He got tired, and pulled to the side to get some sleep. During this time, police approached his vehicle. They saw the gun case in his car, and used that as probable cause to search his vehicle. They found the magazines, and he was arrested and charged. He was sentenced to five years in prison, with a minimum of three before he'll be eligible for parole.
The same thing with how you store and transport a firearm. If you're traveling through a state which does not reciprocate with your state on concealed carry permits, you must store it in the manner proscribed by the state you're traveling through.
