    Leaving magazines loaded (legal issues?)

    In an effort to break in some very stiff pistol mags that have very sharp edges, I've left my mags loaded to the full 15 round capacity to try to make them a little easier to load at speed without slicing up my thumbs as I don't have a speed loader yet. However thinking back I thought I remembered reading something about having mags loaded is basically saying to the police you have them ready for self defence etc? But I cannot find it referenced in the arms code?

    Considering they're stored in a separate lockbox in a separate room to my firearms, will this be any trouble? Another example is I drive a long distance to my club after work and have very limited time to get shooting and practice done, so figured having 6 mags loaded is more time saved, and again is stored in separate part of car.
