logical is downright laughable!

That is like being across the street from a bar when it's closing time. I was taught that was a No, No. .
Using the words reasonable and MD in the same post is dicey at best.
Good luck
That's a good idea. IMO, not just because of entrapment but also because of the potential for robbery/theft by private criminals.
Here is the AG opinion on FOPA and travel. SA's use AG opinions for guidance on decisions on whether to prosecute or not.
It might not be in a statute but might carry weight for prosecutorial decisions.
I agree the law needs clarification but asking the MGA for clarification could result in the opposite happening and the statute becomes even more restrictive.
Remember this is MD.

Well then according to the statute you were on your way to the bathroom .
A clear violation
if one could produce some evidence, I would think you would have a good case for entrapment.
What entrapment?

So this is what I’m wondering. In may we will be doing a mini tour of the shore finishing with a day of shooting at the family property outside of Berlin so as a designated collector I should be able to take my pistols with me as part of the plan is to show them to fsa during friends along the way.I think it's apples and oranges. MSP may have been clarifying your particular restrictions to carry a concealed weapon using your permit under § 5-307, but they are in no position to "interpret" what 4-203(b)(3-9) means regarding transit and stops.
In reading further, 4-203(b)(4) and (5) never state that you must begin or end your trip at home. In essence, 4-203(b)(5) is almost giving people with a "Designated Collector" or even a C&R FFL a free pass to carry an unloaded handgun anywhere as long as that individual has part of his/her collection with them to carry "from place to place" for a private showing. So always keep two unloaded guns in your car.
I also am not a lawyer.

NO,
The designated collector letter in no way, shape, or form makes you bona fide collector with regards to 4-203(b)(5). All it dos it permit you to purchase regulated firearms and not have to worry about the 30 day wait between purchases.
A C&R license, likewise, does not confer that you are a bona fide collector with regards to 4-203(b)(5).
