FOPA will **NOT** help here. You were not travelling "through" the state when you stopped to pick up your friend. Court case held that only stops specifically incidental to the trip (getting gas, using the bathroom, eating a meal) are covered under the exemption. Picking up a passenger is not incidental to your passage through the state.
Right! If your friend lived in Greenwich CT, and you passed over the George Washington Bridge and through the Bronx (NYC) to pick your friend up, your trip may be legal. But being you're going into NYC to pick your friend up, it is illegal because you cannot possess a firearm in NYC without a permit. And you still have another obstacle to climb and that is New Jersey. New jersey won't even honer HR218, so imagine what New Jersey would do to you.
