McClure-Volkmer (the 1986 federal law you mentioned) only covers you when you are making an UNINTERRUPTED journey (driving straight through) through non-gun-friendly jurisdictions. Making at stop at LaGuardia is not an uninterrupted trip!

WW,
You had better go do your reserch, federal courts have held it to be an unintertupted trip even when the gun owner had to stop at a motel for the night. As far as long guns vs handguns, NYC reuires a permit for both, so I don't see how you would be any better off with rifles or shotguns. But you're right on one count, things may ahve changed post 9/11, the times that I did it were pre 9/11.
