I will be attending the San Diego ULGOC event this Saturday.
I am going to open carrying my pistol as usual but sling an unloaded SKS on my back to limit media "evil black rifle" drama.
If someone were to carry an AR and have an empty mag in the well but a full mag coupled to it would it still be legal..i thought the answer was yes until i reread the Open Carry.org "Yes it's legal" pamphlet.
It has a paragraph at the end that makes me second guess.
I know that case law says to be considered loaded the ammunition must be in position to be fired but look at this paragraph in the pamphlet.

Note: For PC12031(e) to be a valid statute, open carry of unloaded firearms must be a legal action. If a full magazine of ammunition is openly carried in a holder on the belt, but not attached to the firearm in any way, the firearm is by definition unloaded as the ammunition is in no way attached to the firearm.
