All weapons are assault weapons, or they wouldn't be weapons.

The 1/2 mile section is 35 MPH speed limit, also.

Yes they will pull you over for speeding.

DON'T SPEED.

Are defensive weapons assault weapons?

I don't know, but I run through a stretch of Maryland every year with a black gun or two going down to WV to deer hunt. Hell if I am going miles and miles out of my way to cross in to WV from PA. I know a lot of people that do that run with their carry guns.

I do too. Been doing it for a long time. I'm still not sure what the law says about where it has to be located and how. I have the unloaded rifles in the back seat and all ammo in the locked bed/cap. Handguns too. And I make a point to NOT stop and clench real tight until I'm through.

Are we 100% certain that FOPA covers when state of origin and state of destination are the same ?

FOPA states: "to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearms"
Hence the "any other place" implies that the origin and destination can not be the same state.

I seem to recall that's what has been stated in other threads in this forum and at law seminars.
And this also falls into same category as magazines; which is "unknown" because FOPA wording is not clear.

Yes -a trip between two points in PA with a reasonable route through MD can invoke FOPA while in MD- it being an intervening state of the interstate transport. It does not apply while in the origin or destination state, ie PA.
