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.
