See black gun = FREAKOUT!!!
Whoops, I guess since I used farmers market people in my example, I should also call it a clip.

Exactly. Even on something like an AR15 with a mag that is mostly external, I'm guessing the average antigun yahoo couldn't tell.

There was a firearm in the first picture? 8)
farmerbob:
I still can't see a firearm in the first picture, must be one of those optical illusions.
If you're not going to carry with a magazine in the gun and a round chambered, get a baseball bat and fix a sling to it, the bat is far more effective for self defense in this manner.

No, there are several.
bkoenig:
In the first picture, the hypothetical firearm (I still don't see it) is most likely being carried by an Israeli reservist. They carry their duty weapons with them when out of uniform, but they're unloaded.
If you're open carrying solely to make a political statement then carrying with or without a magwell won't make much of a difference. If you're open carrying (or concealed carrying) for protection you are handicapping yourself by not carrying with a mag inserted and a round in the chamber. If someone personally doesn't feel comfortable with that I understand. It's still better than no gun at all.
