Paying for the middle state permit seems...pointless. Do some research on the middle states laws regarding transport of firearms. See if they will let you transport locked/unloaded whatever. If their law permits transport, then you should not have any problems. i woudn't recommend speeding though
The last thing you want is to go to the slammer for taking a risk getting your gun through a slice of an anti gun state. try and get through legally. anything more agressive than that is up to you as to what amount of risk your willign to take.

According to federal law, if you are legally entitled to possess a firearm in the state from which your travel starts, and in the state in which your travel ends, then you are legally entitled to possess a firearm in all states along the way, regardless of those states' laws.
That doesn't mean, however, that you may legally carry it loaded and on your person. The federal law only provides for carry in which the firearm(s) is/are unloaded, and locked in a location inaccessible to the passenger, and separated from the ammunition. Here's the verbiage from the NRA site:

Notwithstanding any state or local law, a person shall be entitled to transport a firearm from any place where he may lawfully possess and transport such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and transport such firearm if the firearm is unloaded and in the trunk. In vehicles without a trunk, the unloaded firearm shall be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.
