Usually a carry permit is referring to a handgun carry permit, and in states like NY you can not own a handgun w/o a carry permit (either hunting/target or full carry).
State laws vary so much you would think we did not have a 2nd Amendment! It is so insane that even though I have a full carry in NYS (which means I was investigated by the FBI and other law enforcement) I am not allowed to carry in NYC!!! (Where else would I need it???). Also, NY has a magazine restriction on both handguns and rifles of 10 rounds (if it has a detachable magazine). If you have a tube fed lever action, you are allowed to have more.
Steve forgot to mention NJ, one of the worst states. There are cases where someone was transported an unloaded, cased, handgun in their trunk going from where it is legally owned it to a shooting event in another state (where it is legal), but they get busted going through NJ where it is illegal to transport it.
Stupidity has replaced common sense. The Mayor of NY talks about how we have to stop the flow of guns into the city ... which seems to acknowledge that the folks who live in NYC are not civilized enough to be around firearms w/o shooting one another.
The truth of the matter is that most folks in NYC are good people, but they are not allowed to have firearms to defend themselves, so the armed gang members are causing chaos in conjunction with the defund the police movement. Murders in NYC and most other major cities here have increased dramatically this year.
The more politicians focus on gun control, instead of criminal control (law enforcement), the worse the situation gets. Guns are just the scapegoat.
No one wants a return to the shootouts of the Wild West, but being a duck in a shooting gallery is even worse than that!
It's not illegal to transport a firearm in New Jersey . There must have been other factors involved
Federal Pre-exemption for Firearms Transported Through New Jersey. Federal law allows for transport of a firearm through any state, including New Jersey, under certain limited circumstances set forth in
18 U.S.C. 926A. This law pre-empts any state law to the contrary if the following apply: (1) Possession of the firearm was legal in the state of origin; (2) Possession will be lawful in the destination of the accused; (3) Possession is with a lawful purpose; (4) The handgun, shotgun, rifle or other firearm is unloaded; (5) The firearm and ammunition are not directly accessible from the passenger compartment; (6) The possessor is not a convicted felon, fugitive from justice or someone who has been dishonorable discharged; (7) The possessor is not an illegal alien or someone who renounced citizen to the United States; and (8) The possessor has not been adjudicated or committed because of a mental disability or defect.

It's hard even when you have a hr218 to carry in NYC because as I understand the carrier isnt allowed within a certain distance of a school zone . Just about every block has either a public or private school .
