Your mistake is in comparing Apples and Oranges, you can't equate a box of ammunition and a pistol magazine in a glove compartment to being the same as having a pistol magazine physically displayed on your person. One is in your immediate possession and the other is not.
Further your cite deals with probable cause not reasonable suspicion. Terry V Ohio only requires reasonable suspicion not probable cause. The openly displayed possession of a pistol magazine provides reasonable suspicion.
itow,
Obviously you are free to believe what ever you wish. However the childish accusation that I made something up was uncalled for. When I was on the street enforcing the Law I averaged a 90-92% conviction rate so I'm pretty sure that I've got a good grasp on how LE works. I also promote Open carry and my post was in no way to indicate otherwise. I simply pointed out that under Florida's current statutes it could bring unwanted attention from Law Enforcement.
If you want to open carry your magazines more power to you however the fact that you to this date have not drawn the attention of a LEO doesn't mean that you never will.
I'm just like that, don't read too much into it.
I draw the attention of LEOs all the damn time. I never said I haven't.
Regardless of Florida's current law, some LEOs just like to screw with people. In FL, it seems like a majority fit in that category. Many of them know me by name and intentionally look for ways to screw with me because I dared to push back and put them in their place.
Never once has my pair of 1911 matte-chromed mags with 8 rounds each ever drawn their scrutiny. It may not be entirely conclusive. But phuckers like this wouldn't let anything slide they could use. They've SHOT at me. My conclusion is that, if they could have used it to screw with me, they would have. They've tried to stretch and lie in a multitude of ways. But they never tried to use the mags. There must be a reason for that.
