And even then, it depends on the county you're in...I think we can just assume that in MD and the question involves the use of a firearm...the answer is no...it's illegal until proven otherwise.

When I lived in MD I considered all my legal options. You aren't allowed to carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle, and only on your way to and from the range, store where you bought it, hunting, etc., locked up and separated from the ammo.In MD does ur castle extend to your vehicle if u are in it and someone tries to enter against ur will?
Ur of the Chaldees was Abraham's home town. I don't think they had castle doctrine there.
Please do not substitute "u" and "ur" for "you" and "your." There is no excuse for it. It is annoying and creates a bad impression. Your reader thinks less of you for it.
To anyone asking that question, also consider it and any of your responses rephrased coming at you from a MD prosecutor... can you justifiably use deadly force in self defense of a perceived forcible felony (armed carjacking, kidnapping)? What if you don't have a MD CCW permit? Could you have driven and removed yourself from the situation without putting yourself in more danger? Did you instigate/provoke the interaction? Is the level of response justified for the perceived threat? What can you reasonably prove?
Serious questions with immediate life, death, and future freedoms on the line... Ones to take seriously for those who carry. Carry insurance and the associated knowledge and legal resources provided are with looking into as well... And a dashcam!

However, as far as I know there are no restrictions against archery equipment. There are some repeating crossbows, but you'd have a hard time stowing one under your seat.
I don't know the legality of muzzle loaders. If they aren't restricted, maybe you could have a loaded 1858 in your car. They worked in the OK Corral. I'd be curious to see a discussion on this.
I now live in a less communist state where it is legal to carry a loaded firearm in your vehicle, no license required, and if you're not a felon, you can easily get a CC permit.
Doesn't Baltimore City have a Grandfathered Ordance about long guns being cased ?
No where in state law is the firearm required to be locked, nor separate from the ammo. As a matter of fact, per the AG, it is perfectly legal to keep loaded magazines in the same case as the firearm.
And the law on transport only applies to handguns, not rifles and shotguns.
Isn’t it correct that the requirement for separate storage during transport for firearm and ammo is to comply with federal law when transporting across state lines?

For regulated firearm (i.e. handgun) transport, MD law requires it be unloaded, and in a "case or enclosed holster".
For long guns, no case is necessary, just that it be unloaded. Except in Baltimore City, where IIRC there is a grandfathered transport law for long guns that predates state pre-emption requiring them to be cased.
