Handgun Automobile Transport

[WillyMart]

As a Maryland resident with a "registered" handgun, can I transport that gun in my vehicle in a locked gunsafe (minus ammunition) to my secondary temporary residence in Pennsylvania? I am very new to this forum an apologize if this thread is in the improper forum area. I would appreciate any comments.

Your question is ambiguous because you state that you are a resident with a "registered" handgun but you don't state if you are a permitted or licensed resident or if the gun is registered to yourself. Don't know what those answers are and here is a reciprocity map link updated recently. Hope it helps.

If you only travel via Maryland and Pennsylvania, likely yes. Read NRA-ILA | Guide To The Interstate Transportation Of Firearms and the laws of both states.

Sorry for the ambiguity. The handgun is registered in my name so that I can contain it within my permanent residence in Maryland. Although I do not possess a concealed carry permit, I'd like to know if I could transport the gun in a gun safe within my vehicle to my cabin in PA. Naturally, I would not transport any ammunition.

I would be hesitant if you were to wander into NJ or NY states because they are known for usurping Federal statutes but the following should be fine if you faithfully follow US code in this case.

Good luck!
