NEW YORK-The transportation of handguns is prohibited except by a resident with a license to carry. Almost guarantee you will not get one unless LE.
A member or coach of an accredited college or university target pistol team may transport a handgun into or through New York to participate in a collegiate, Olympic or target pistol shooting competition provided that the handgun is unloaded and carried in a separate locked container.
Nonresident target shooters may enter or pass through New York State with handguns for purposes of any NRA approved competition if the competitor has in his possession a copy of the match program, proof of entry and a pistol license from his state of residence. The handgun must be unloaded, disassembled and transported in a fully opaque container.
New York State has strict laws governing illegal possession of handguns which can result in a possible seven year jail sentence for offenders.
A special caution: New York law presumes that an individual stopped in possession of five or more handguns, without a state permit, possesses the handguns for illegal sale, thus subjecting this person to an increased sentence.
New York is the only state in the Union which prohibits the transportation of handguns without a license. Law-abiding citizens should therefore be particularly careful since they face severe consequences should they inadvertently violate the state's myriad, technical, anti-gun provisions.
NEW YORK CITY-A city permit is required for possession and transportation of handguns and long guns. New York State handgun permits are invalid within the city limits; however, New York State residents may transport their licensed handguns unloaded through the city if these are locked in a container and the trip is continuous. Long guns may be kept in the city for only 24 hours while in transit and must be unloaded and stored in a locked container or vehicle trunk for the period.
New York City forbids possession of an "assault weapon," which includes various specified semi- automatic rifles and shotguns, or revolving cylinder shotguns. It is unlawful to possess an "ammunition feeding device" capable of holding more than 10 rounds in a handgun, or more than 5 rounds in a rifle or shotgun.
In all cases, the general rule should be observed. The New York State law on illegal possession applies to the city as well.

Thanks for quoting that but it's not actually helpful.
I checked the NY Penal Code and as I predicted - it doesn't back up your original statement that guns need to be dissembled while transported in NY state. No such requirement exists in NY.

Perhaps you're conflating IL and NY law: http://www.isp.state.il.us/docs/transgun0-000.pdf But IL only requires guns to be "broken down" if they are "immediately accessible" while being transported.
