Of course not - but you already know that.
What a state governor can do is work with the state's legislature to pass laws that may be viewed as curtailing that right, as the US Constitution grants individual states wide latitude in determining what laws govern them.
As long as those states laws aren't in direct violation of the federal Constitution.

You can if you have the proper permit.
I used to live in NY then moved to VA for about 5 years. I bought a S&W 9mm while there - background check in VA took 10 minutes - literally. On my next planned trip to visit NY I wrote to the NY authority - in NYC it is the Police Commissioner's office - telling them I was a resident of VA and that I would be traveling to NY with my gun.
I had to fill out a bunch of forms, but 3 weeks later, I got my carry permit for all of NY - including NYC. There were a lot of restrictions, but I didn't care. I actually wasn't even going to bring it, but decided to test the notion that states try to honor each other's laws and rules or anarchy reigns.
You just have to be determined and maybe a little resourceful. They don't make it easy.
Try it - you'll see.

I would be nice for Trump to sue them for Liable ... all he would have to prove is they lied about one thing.. win that and then take them back to court for number two lie. Then three, four, five, etc etc all the way to the end and win so they also have to pay court cost.. It really needs to be done with these fake news sources.
