I carry a 10-round rifle mag in my pocket, smaller, and flatter than any pistol. I forget it is there. Drop it in my pocket each morning when I scoop-up my wallet, and cell phone from the dresser. This magazine fits any of six identical semi-auto hunting rifles left in the car, at home, at the office. A rifle is always neaby 99% of the time, as opposed to the 5% of the time most OCers are cautiously demonstrating the right.I do not transport on my person or move the weapons from their stations. They are always "there". Plus, I know all my rifles are resonably safe if the one sole magazine (all others locked up, and on station)is in my pocket.All the time while I am carrying the one key component necessary to unlock all H$%^, I don't even have a firearm on my person. So I believe I am OK in the PO, and in a school zone. Maybe I'm wrong but no one will ever have reason to ask me what is in my pocket. OC is fine for bringing attention to 2A, CCW issuance, etc, but I'm talking here about a valid reason to ask...Can I pocket a loaded magazine? I say it is a valid question" Can you carry a clip in your pocket in the absence of the host firearm." Part of a gun? What gun?I wish only to do what CA has left me, and be agood compliant CA Joe, but a Joe indeed.I am confident I can take out any HG carrying assailant within 5 seconds it takes me to get to station, and still give the assailant an extra count of 30 before I ensure I'll never be sued, as is the case of a 9 that might put him in a wheelchair. Any self respecting solder is never far froman AR or AK. As far as CCWs go, any non-felon American should not have to ask permission or pay a fee to carry a loaded weapon, until that day comes,I say such quirky questions arevalid questions. I'm still looking for an absolute answer in the code about the Magazine. Any help is much appreciated.
