Fopa states that you may travel from point a where arm is legal to point b where arm is legal if firearm is unloaded, cased out of passenger reach and totally separate from ammo. Do not load speed loaders, strips, clips or magazines as Maryland at least used to view those as a loaded arm. You likely cannot stop in New York as afaik they require various permits which you won't have so you will have an illegal gun. Basically a good rule of thumb when traveling into jersey or New York is to tie a string to your gun and hang it off the bridge before entry and retrieve on the way back.
