If you are transporting a firearm from Florida to say Ohio with a stop over in NCY and if that stop over is just to transfer to a different plane/airlines, and the gun container is moved by the baggage handlers, then you are OK. This is the same as driving through NYC on your way from Virginia to Connecticut with a firearm locked in your trunk.
However, if you remove the gun container from the airport and transport it to your hotel room and keep it there for 3 days while you are sight seeing, then you are in violation of the law.
The grey area here might be that the gun container was back in the control of the airlines when he was arrested. But, it seems to me that the police can readily prove that he had possession of his firearm while in NYC for 3 days.
This guy is an attorney? He was just hoping that he wouldn't get caught. I can't imagine any higher purpose here.
