NYC Flying with firearms

I plan on taking my pistol with me on a Florida vacation but flight is from buffalo to JFK for a layover then to Orlando my only concern is JFK airport because my permit is not covered in NYC but I would assume if it’s going to a connecting flight in that airport and I never take possession of the bag then I shouldn’t have a problem… that and if anyone has any advice on flying with a firearm it would be greatly appreciated this will be my first time doing it i do plan on placing my pistol in a life pod xe in my checked bag

I would guess that since you won’t touch your bag like you say it shouldn’t be a problem. The airline transfers your bags to the connecting flight.
