I might be able to suggest a realistic alternative that might help you out. Instead of going through Maryland and NJ, take I-95 into Philadelphia. PA is a much more gun friendly state and there is a good train system that you can use to get to Manhattan. Leave the truck parked in Philly and take the train. This solves the problem of driving in NY and parking a full size truck, both of which can be real trouble. If you leave the gun in Philly also, you will at least be armed for most of the trip and not run afoul of gun laws in NJ and NY.

And, no, I am not suggesting leaving the gun in an unattended truck. I have relatives in Philly who I think I can talk into letting you park the truck by their house and keeping an eye on it. No charge for the parking that way and the gun is safe.

The drawback to this, of course, is it means you do not have a vehicle in NY. It is hard to give up your own personal transportation and I don't like (read trust) the NY taxi drivers, but the parking problems might make this a preferable solution.
