    Depends on what you mean by the bolded above, Maryland's annotated code does not state that the firearm and ammunition must be stored seperately when travelling, just that the firearm must not be loaded. So you should be able to have the unloaded firearm in a case along with a loaded magazine setting in the case beside it.

    FOPA requires them to be stored separately. So if you're doing interstate travel and think you may need to keep the possibility of a FOPA-based affirmative defense in court, that's where the separate storage requirement comes from.

    Everyone is going to tell you to get an attorney...

    Some folks may have opinions, but they will not be formal legal advice that will stand up in front of a judge.

    Personally I'd be more worried about the charges then whether or not I got my firearm back. You've asked a question but haven't really provided facts about your arrest. I would suggest that you not post on forums about this whether public or private.

    I was just about to post that:

    Do not post anything about your case on the Internet.

    It's all discoverable and can be used against you!
