I would be happy to stop at the last rest area in Pennsylvania when heading south towards Maryland, and secure my unloaded CCW in a lockbox inside my motorcycle saddlebag.
Once in Virginia after traveling through Maryland, stop again at the first rest area in Virginia and get the CCW back out of the lockbox and load it back up.
Doing the above makes it legal by Federal law to traverse Maryland with a secured unloaded firearm stored in a locked container.

But even doing all of that, if they catch you, you will spend thousands of dollars to prove your innocence.
Sadly, Maryland isn't the only state routinely ignoring the FOPA. New York and New Jersey and others do the same bullshit.

Many years ago when I traveled extensively for out of State USPSA competitions, I acquired a non resident Massachusetts License to Carry.
For non residents, it is issued by the MA State Police. If you met the requirements, they issued it to you.
It was easier for a non resident to do that compared to a MA resident who HAD to secure written approval from a local MA Police Chief.
If I recall, it was $90 for three years.
More recently, it was changed to $100+ for one year. I did not renew my MA LTC.
Massachusetts is now on the same list for me as Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island.
I really don't mind, I will spend my motorcycle touring funds where I am appreciated.
