MD also is notorious for pulling out of state vehicles from gun friendly states and hemming up the law abiding on felony charges.

@Geezer , I would suggest that the OP just fly into NJ, conclude whatever community service* he was sentenced to, and fly home.
(* OP must have been sentenced to community service if he “HAS” to go to NJ,lol)

I seem to remember they eventually decided not to charge him, but a guy with a Flintlock from the 1700's has to spend a lot of money on a lawyer after he was arrested.

Elderly man facing gun charge after deputy finds pistol in his car
Gordon Van Gilder was stopped by a Cumberland County deputy in November 2014 when the gun was discovered.
New Jersey Man Faces Jail Time for Transporting an Antique Pistol | National Review
‘I did break the law — to my shock,” Gordon Van Gilder tells me over the phone. He sighs. “Legally, they’re right.” The “they” in this equation is the state of New Jersey. The “I” is Van Gilder, a …

Smartest thing you can do. Otherwise you would be praying for a pardon which you would not receive.
Even better. Stop in Pennsylvania. Establish residence, get a FFL, and open a gun shop. Then take your personal gun into inventory in your new shop, then release it to yourself when you're driving back and close the business and send your FFL records to ATF.
Get a new job. They obviously don't have your best interests at heart sending you behind enemy lines.

Do not even pass through NJ with a weapon in your vehicle. I was just passing through enroute Rhode Island, but the NJ, NY, Connecticut part of the drive is a gamble you won't be pulled over (as I was in NJ for NM plates). Thank God for delivering me from that nightmare. The suggestion of leaving the weapon in a safety deposit box at a bank before NJ sounds like the best advice to me.
I have driven to NJ three times in the last five years. I left my guns at home. But, I have never been stopped even with my Texas plates. I even took my daughter to an indoor gun range in the neighborhood. But she lives in NW NJ, lots of MAGA hats in that part of the state, if you get my drift.
You posted 9 days ago so you might be in Jersey by now. How'd it go?
Tennessee was very bad about that not too long ago. Although it did not happen to me it did happen to people I know who traveled on I-40 and those with out-of-state plates who were pulled over fast. They are looking for money more than anything. Traveling past Jackson on I40 heading towards Nashville I was tailed by a deputy vehicle but I told my wife to count to 30 and he would pull away. I did get pulled over in Loudonville, OH near the Amish towns and the local cop wanted to know if I was lost and I told him no and he asked if I am in business and I told him no I was eating at a recommended Amish restaurant and was heading back to our hotel in Polaris North of Columbus as my daughter is a competitor at Cardinal shooting center. He just wanted to know if I was in an operation.
Maybe he's sitting in jail for having forgotten about a carry hide out piece in his glove box that some overzealous tail light chaser found after pulling him over on some bullshit traffic violation then running a "drug" dog around the car and tapping the car to get the dog to "alert" - poor dude probably has a stretched out corn cutter, sore knees, and can't real Saul Goodman to save his life. Hopefully the OP gets rescued by an extraction team and makes it home to Texas with minimal PTSD from his experience.
