Are they allowed to carry a loaded magazine elsewhere on their body?

In Illinois you can technically open carry an unloaded handgun while having the ammunition separate from the magazine and those items elsewhere on your person.

The major problem being that if you had to use the gun, and once you loaded it, you would be breaking the law (a major felony). Then after you broke that law and if you used the gun there isn't a court in Illinois that would find for your defense(you would be charged with homicide).

So while open-carrying proves a certain point, for personal safety and well-being it's really really stupid.

Do I agree with how the law works? NO. Do I have to enforce it? YES.
