If I am not mistaken, I believe that this refers to passing through a state, not traveling around in the state for 3 days and then leaving with the weapon.
I know that even though I have a carry permit for Colorado, the Cities of Boulder and Denver maintain that they have the right to confiscate my firearm for an indefinite amount of time.
Seems to me that you should err on the side of caution when traveling in non-gun friendly areas. This guy obviously broke the law and will pay for it. Unless he is able to get the gun laws of New York repealed (impossible/ unlikely) he will be charged with a crime and will have to pay at least a fine if not a modest jail sentence.
Responsible gun owners know the law and abide by them. He either did not know the law ( no excuse) or he chose to ignore them (again no excuse). As an avid gun owner, I hate the overreaching gun laws, but it does us a disservice to be associated with people who either don't know the laws or choose not to follow them.
