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.

I'm paraphrasing but the firearm act and/or criminal code makes it illegal to have a loaded firearm (considered as rounds in an attached mag and/or chamber) anywhere that you can't legally discharge it. So, anywhere outside of a range/crown land or hunting area.

So even for a photo op, a clear loaded mag inserted into a rifle (even with a chamber flag) is a criminal charge. Good luck arguing the loaded rifle on your mattress is at an approved range lol

Growing up in a rural area it was not uncommon to have a loaded but not chambered varmint gun at the back door for predator dispatching purposes. It was a different time 🤷‍♂️
