How do I transport an unloaded pistol to upstate New York safely & legally?

I know NY state have insanely complex gun control law and regulation. I plan to move to upstate New York to reside. I come from a Western state that’s very liberal in gun rights law. I will live in a house and securing the pistol in storage will make me feel comfortable in heightened security. Amtrak has a policy that clearly prohibit any firearm even in secured packaging. So the only option is to ship the unloaded firearm securely through FedEx or UPS. Can I ship the unloaded pistol in a locked container inside a tight package from UPS/FedEx location to another UPS/FedEx location & sign confirmation upon pick-up or do I need to obtain the license for a non-resident (unlikely)? If I become a legal resident after at least 6 months to a year, can the unloaded pistol be shipped to me by a relative or FFL dealer, provided I hold a valid license?

Is it legal in Washington State, for an 18 year-old to own a handgun?

What about get a concealed firearms license?
Or transport it around in a car?
Or even carry it around?

I know it’s not legal for a FFL dealer to sell you a handgun unless you are 21, but I have heard that your dad or grandpa could sell you one, or even a friend could sell you one.

I have passed a firearms safety course also.

I can’t seem to find anything on it in the RCW:

Can I ship a firearm (rifle) to a sporting goods store ie Dick's, Gander Mtn and pick it up?

I am new to the ordering firearms online shenanigans. I have selected a rifle that I am really interested in but I cannot find it in my area. I know you have to ship it to a licensed FFL dealer like a gun shop. I was wondering if I could ship it to Dick’s or Gander Mtn and pick it up there. Would they charge a bigger transfer fee?

Much appreciated

Is true that with a WA state concealed pistol license the FFL dealer is not required to run you through NCIS?

Last year I bought a 40 Caliber pistol and was able to walk out the door with it within minutes. However, today the store associate told me I was "delayed" by NCIS. I was a little surprised because I was under the impression that with my WA state concealed pistol license I was "automatically" approved and the FFL dealer does not even have to run me through NCIS. Was I mislead? If so, why would I be "delayed" if I have a concealed pistol license and already own a few guns and not to mention I also work for the Department of Homeland Security?
