The son of Gigi's Gun Shop, who is a deputy with the Calvert County Sheriff's office

trunk, there is no problem.

I would want to check that before I did it. Simply having a handgun in
the passenger compartment was going to get you a big hassle when I
lived there, loaded or not.
It had to be in a case or a holster with a flap, away from the drivers
and passengers with the ammo separated from the handgun.

Yes, in a box or a holster. And, he may have said gun in the trunk and ammo in the
console, or glovebox or whatever. The main point was whether or not magazines could
be loaded.

They can.

He also said the gun should be locked, with either a cable or trigger lock, and that
the key should not be with the lock. For me, he suggested I call his dad first, make
an appointment, have his dad email me confirmation of the appointment and carry that
with the gun to provide the legitimate reason for transporting the gun into Maryland.

I'm surprised I don't have to write the Maryland government and get a one-time
'Hazardous Cargo' permit at a cost of a reasonable $50 or so.
