I keep my mags loaded, so yes it would be.

You’re not allowed to insert a loaded magazine into a gun in your own home?

Correct because that makes it a loaded firearm. Pal covers this stuff.

Could be cuz I'm in the city and thats just what I do. Rural you might be able to justify it as being "in use" for predator protection or something.

I have literally no way to "use" my guns unless I'm at the range, so I don't risk an improper storage charge by loading guns at home

I’m a yank so I wouldn’t really know lol. A couple states require them to be locked away when not under your control but I don’t know of any that forbid you from even putting a loaded magazine into a gun. Canadian gun laws are interesting to learn about.

Canadian gun laws are a shit show lol. Check out Ian Runkle on YouTube if you're at all interested in this stuff. Very articulate attorney who talks through legal cases. It's fascinating.

There are some nuances here for something like this like whether or not you took a marked departure from something a regular person would do, was the gun in "use", was it being handled carelessly, etc. Biggest thing is use here though. Firearms have to be stored unloaded and locked when not in use. "use" is the part that makes lawyers the big bucks.
