If you have a HGP are you able to carry a AR pistol in your car?

No such animal in MD.
There is a Wear & Carry Permit in MD.
There are no exclusions as to which handguns you may carry in your vehicle in MD that I am aware of.

You could- but what are you going to do when you have to get out of your car?

The Maryland state police license portal consistently calls it HGP (as in handgun permit).
Where is the term "HGP" used? No where that I am aware of. Splitting hairs, yes, but that was the point.
In MD it's called a Wear & Carry Permit.
In DE it's called a Concealed Carry Deadly Weapon Permit.

The permit itself specifies handgun.
Is a pistol not a handgun?

I would imagine at the interview when asked what you planned to carry you answered AR Pistol , or 13in SBS it would raise eyebrows . But it would be legal to use any " handgun " as defined by Maryland .
And I do get the point of what the OP is asking .

While I agree that in MD it is a Wear & Carry permit, the Maryland State Police Licensing Portal calls it HGP.

My inbox this morning has an email with this subject "MD HGP - Your Application Has Been Assigned To An Investigator"
Answering your question "Where is the term "HGP" used?" = all over the MD state police licensing portal and in their email status communications. I get that you might disagree with this name but MD state police clearly have adopted HGP ... because everything needs a 3-letter acronym?

Someone a couple posts up asked about an SBR.

Grey area. Md considers SBRs as rifles except when transporting, then they are governed by the same restrictions handguns are.
IANAL
Also with an SBR, don't you have to have that paperwork stating when and where you're transporting it?
IIRC that's applicable to interstate transport under NFA.

Really? Interesting. Never would have guessed. I figured it would be treated as long gun, therefore transporting a locked and loaded SBR would not fly even with W&C. Still not sure I'd test the waters on this one.
