Thanks for the responses.

I purchased the Nano 200 case from an Ebay store. It arrived broken. There is a separate piece on the bottom, that catches the peg when you lock it down with the key. Looks like it needed to be welded to the bottom. But it was loose. No way to lock it. Looking at the surface almost seems it was glued on. Hope not. Contacted the ebay vendor to return it. See how smoothly this goes.

When I go thru MD, if I'm in the truck the gun is unloaded, locked in the box fastened to the BACK seat frame. Ammo is locked in the second box.  If I'm in the car, the gun is locked in the box in the trunk, fastened to the spare tire. Same with the ammo. I take no chances in MD. In DE (or other legal states), if I have to leave the gun in the car, I'll lock it in the box under my seat.

Thanks old grey.  Am I correct by saying that, if the guns unloaded but the clip with ammo is in the same lock box as the gun cable locked under the seat that is ok ???  I didnt see where it said anything about being seperate just unloaded. I would think that would be better than ammo ( seperated from the gun) in my console or anywhere in plain view as far as that goes. Maryland is tuff for me . I travel over there often and want to be sure im not breaking the law.

I'm just not sure about where to store the ammo. The Federal law doesn't seem to specify, and I don't know how the average Maryland or NJ state trooper would react to my Glock in the same box as a loaded magazine.
This doesn't come up often for me, because I don't bring a gun at all when I drive into Maryland. On those rare occasions when I travel through MD expecting to emerge on the other side and re-arm, I empty the mags and put the ammo in a box, but maybe I'm being too careful.

That sounds like the most senseable thing to do.
