Of course, the last paragraph under the Full list of states is wrong. You will go to jail in IL. CA, and NY if you have a weapon no matter what your excuse is-
"Federal law expressly provides that persons may carry a firearm in their vehicle while traveling through another state provided that the possession of the weapon is legal in both the states of origin and destination and the weapon is unloaded and carried in the trunk of the vehicle or a locked container other than the glove box. See 18 U.S.C. 926a"
That's worth knowing. nice reference.
But read the first sentence.
"Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof,"
You are there, you are subject to their laws,
The highlighted portion is the key......you can not stop as in stay at a CG, motel, hotel, catch some zzzzz in a rest area etc. Once you do you are no longer in transit and are immediately subject to the gun carry/transport within state laws.
