Question regarding restricted transport.

In the act:

unloaded, in respect of a firearm, means that any propellant, projectile or cartridge that can be discharged from the firearm is not contained in the breech or firing chamber of the firearm nor in the cartridge magazine attached to or inserted into the firearm. (non chargée)

So does this mean I can keep an empty magazine inside my handgun for transfer Since it’s already trigger locked and in a locked case?

Yes you can keep (transport/store) an unloaded mag in your gun
