Really, I recommend prowling yard sales and Goodwill to find the canvas bags that golfers use to cover their golf bags for airline travel.
Using blankets or other wraps--even bubble wrap--you can transport multiple rifles in a golf bag cover that your neighbors think is full of…. golf clubs. Here are the transport problems solved by the Covered Golf Bag:
1) When you unload rifles from your house under your "Golf Cover", most will suspect it's just golf stuff and they are not likely to follow you to your destination.
2) While driving down the road, drivers in tall SUV's who can see in your windows will see only "golf equipment".
3) If Bad Guys think they see rifles in your back seat at a stop light, you can be followed.
4) If a squeamish soccer mom sees rifles in the back seat they can SWAT you out.
5) If you are pulled over on a traffic stop with visible rifles, you'll have a chat. But with a "Covered Golf Bag", not so much.
6) When you unload at your destination, neighbors see a golf bag cover going in your new house and assume your hobby is…..golf.
7) If you are moving blanketed-rifles one or two-at-a-time into a house, it allows neighbors/bystanders to guess what is still in your vehicle and then steal a rifle or rifles that haven't been moved into the house yet.
8) If Bad People or People Related to Bad People see blanketed rifles going into your new home, you are asking to be burglarized or robbed.
9) If you have to make a hasty retreat--for whatever reason--moving a half dozen rifles in one trip with a Golf Cover Bag gets you on your way.
10) Repeated back-and-forth trips moving ANYTHING gives Bad Guys Bad time to think up a plan to interrupt your day with a robbery. With two covered golf bags you can move 8-10 rifles in one trip with one bag on each shoulder.

Doesn't matter when the local jurisdiction enacted their laws.
MD State Law preempts any such local laws. The local laws may be on the books, but they are no longer enforceable.

What does Eric Holder use when he wants to transport hundreds at a time?
Tax payer money to pay for an armored transport.

All guns should always be cased. Even while shooting them.
Yes, your snark is noted.
I realize you live in a better place now but no amount of freedom excuses someone for unsafe handling or blatant attention whoring.

Where I live has nothing to do with it. I just have the general attitude of trying to not give a damn what other people do as long as it doesnt present a danger to me or mine. It sounds like your neighbor or whoever was being funny. Guns are a great hobby when safety is present, but you CAN joke around while handling guns believe it or not. If he was unsafe then I get it. From what I read I took it that you were upset it was uncased which would be rather silly. If he was unsafe, then I totally agree with your use of douche. Those guys give everyone a bad name.
I don't care about the uncased aspect. It was his racking and pointing that bothered me. This is a densely populated neighborhood with plenty of car and foot traffic. He was standing in the middle of the road making a spectacle.

Looks like a Bulgarian/Arsenal SLR95 with an after market birch stock set.

I like the golf bag suggestion. I was hoping to avoid looking like the car in the pic when I finally escape the PRMD

"Hey, look at me."
I wait till after dark to pull my cased guns out of my truck. What a friggin knuckle head!
You don't legally need a case to transport a rifle or shotgun. Remember, open carry of rifles and shotguns is 100% legal in Maryland.
