Thanks to you both. We’re just traveling through the state and don’t plan any stops. I will place my pistol in a locked box (unloaded) and put it in the back of the truck while traveling through MD.

Thanks again. Merry Christmas

Thanks, Svartalfiar, for clarifying a point I was trying to make, namely, that when INTERSTATE travel is involved, the Federal firearms statutes “trump” local and state laws.

For example, even back in the days when handguns were totally outlawed in the District of Columbia, a Virginia resident could legally drive thru DC with a handgun locked in his trunk, as long as he was journeying to a state like Pennsylvania where his gun would be legal.
