Im going to state something that the paranoid in me things.

Be sure to check state laws if you are bringing your firearms with you. And check the laws in NY as well. There are some real screwed up ones about traveling through the state with "assault rifles" or Pistols.. In fact it might be easier to go through Canada and avoid NY :/ stupid commie state.

Thank you for your Service, and good luck in the next chapter of your life. Enjoy your family, create good memories, and enjoy the things that many of us non military take for granted.. like sleeping in on the weekends

Got to be careful traveling w/ guns in the northeast. Federal law allows it but some of those states prefer to ignore it. They take an "arrest and make you hire a lawyer" approach to guns Best bet is avoid NYC and DC entirely - drive around.

Its not just the city anymore. The whole state ignores the federal law now and will lock you up for transporting a gun as a trafficker

from the NRA's Website on transporting firearms (https://www.nraila.org/articles/20150101/guide-to-the-interstate-transportation)

FEDERAL LAW ON TRANSPORTATION OF FIREARMS
A provision of the federal law known as the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act, or FOPA, protects those who are transporting firearms for lawful purposes from local restrictions which would otherwise prohibit passage.

Under FOPA, notwithstanding any state or local law, a person is entitled to transport a firearm from any place where he or she may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he or she may lawfully possess and carry it, if the firearm is unloaded and locked out of reach. In vehicles without a trunk, the unloaded firearm must be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. Ammunition that is either locked out of reach in the trunk or in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console is also covered.

Travelers should be aware that some state and local governments treat this federal provision as an “affirmative defense” that may only be raised after an arrest. All travelers in areas with restrictive laws would be well advised to have copies of any applicable firearm licenses or permits, as well as copies or printouts from the relevant jurisdictions’ official publications or websites documenting pertinent provisions of law (including FOPA itself) or reciprocity information. In the event of an unexpected or extended delay, travelers should make every effort not to handle any luggage containing firearms unnecessarily and to secure it in a location where they do not have ready access to it.

And about New York State specifically

NEW YORK—Use extreme caution when traveling through New York with firearms. New York state’s general approach is to make the possession of handguns and so-called “assault weapons” and “large capacity ammunition feeding devices” illegal and then provide exceptions that the accused may raise as “affirmative defenses” to prosecution in some cases. NY Penal Code s. 265.20(12), (13) & (16).

Which means they arrest you for it first and when they arraign you you can get off.. but they've already confiscated all your stuff as "evidence" at that point

Couple of tips.

1. Make sure you explain to drivers that 4 wheel drive does not help you stop any better in inclimate weather.
2. Do all of the shopping you can in portsmouth, nh, they don't have sales tax.
3. If you venture into boston take 95 to tobin bridge
4. The best pizza in maine is from a place called pizza joint in portland that doesn't have tables.
5. Stay off route 1 in Kittery on holidays made for shopping,...Columbus, MLK, black Friday.
6. Whatever size snow blower you think is big enough, buy bigger.

I spent the first 30 or so years of my life in Maine and Mass. You got a good place to finish up your tour. Don't let the cold get you down.
