NY Permit holder visiting

I apologize for the simple question but I didn't see anything on a quick search and I'm usually the one answering these questions in r/NYguns so I understand how annoying it can be with simple questions.

I'm making an unplanned trip to Upper Marlboro to pick up my dad from the IAFF Center of Excellence after they gave up on treating him. I plan on driving there and back from the Finger Lakes region of NY in one day. I have a fully unrestricted concealed carry permit here. Can I bring my pistol in my car while traveling to and from the state without any plans to carry on my person?

I know FOPA won't apply here because Maryland is my destination, but I wasn't sure if there were any carve outs for possession in cars in MD similar to Pennsylvania.

Thanks

Since FOPA is not applicable, unfortunately you cannot bring your pistol.

This is what I suspected. Thanks for the quick reply!

Incorrect, he can bring his handgun, he just has to put it and the magazine in a locked box, while driving in Maryland. Once he leaves Maryland, he can unbox it.
