Generally, reciprocating agreements are only between states with substantially similar laws and hoops you need to jump through to get a license. Since Florida has less stringent laws than most northern states, very few reciprocal agreements exist. My understanding is that it is legal to transport firearms, by federal law, across state lines as long as you have a valid license from your home state and they are legally owned. However, all firearms need to be unloaded and locked, with ammunition stored securely in a separate place. I am licensed in Massachusetts, but frequently hunt in New Hampshire. Whenever I travel with my hunting rifle and pistol, they are locked in a gun case unloaded, and the ammo is locked up in a separate waterproof pelican box. Just to be extra safe, I also take the bolt out of the 30-06 and field strip my Sig pistol. I store the rifle bolt and pistol barrel with the ammo, so both guns are stored locked and disabled. Hope this helps.
