As would have been at least most of the members of NFOA.
I wouldn't worry too much about it though. I once had my keyring held while I was inside because it had a small knife on it. I didn't care at the time. Granted, there was no reason for them to keep it, but at the same time, he was polite, told me I'd get it back when I left and obviously I didn't want to make anyone nervous, etc.

Words slide over time, and what was a magazine 30years ago, in todays couture is more likely to be called a mag or a clip. I do the same thing. Get used to it.

Ah, the "many people do it, so even if it is wrong, just let it go" way of thinking.
Nope.
If people can't even use the right terminology, that tells me something about their level of knowledge and expertise. If they know better and still use incorrect terminology, that tells me they are sloppy thinkers, and that's important to know also.
--- Quote ---The glock mag, in your pocket, walking into a courthouse. OOPS. Error in good judgment. Loaded mag? I am surprised you did not end up with a LEO and a set of handcuffs, while they searched your car. One day after a bombing in Boston, tensions are running high, and check point staff I am sure are under orders to flag anything out of place. Walking into a courthouse with a loaded mag would be cause for concern.

And yet---nothing illegal. And if someone in law enforcement was actually STUPID enough to consider that even remotely justifies a search of a vehicle not nearby, then their particular department deserves the significant hit they are going to take in court for it.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course, but there isn't anything illegal about having a magazine in your pocket, and your comments above just don't make ANY sense from a legal perspective.

Well to answer your question........
(Just think about it with out going D'oh! )
Technically you were carring an Explosive device into a restricted area.
Bullets (Rounds) don't need a Gun or Firearm to set them off ......
Just hitting them in the right place can set them off......Not a smart thing to do but (I'm just saying)

That's exactly the kind of interpretation that an aggressive anti-2A prosecutor would spin.

From the Nebraska State Patrol FAQ section of the CHL regulations.....
Does my permit allow me to carry a concealed handgun in schools or governmental buildings?
Your permit does not allow you to carry a concealed handgun in schools. Some governmental buildings are on the list of prohibited places such as buildings which contain a courtroom. Other governmental building will have partial restrictions because the prohibition is only for carrying a concealed weapon into a meeting in the building such as the governing body of a county or a meeting of the Legislature. The restriction for the meeting will not necessarily make the rest of the building a prohibited place. The persons in charge of a building, however, could chose to post the entire building. A list of the prohibited places can be found in section 018 of the regulations or section 69-2441 in the statutes. Some of the prohibitions are for buildings or places and some are for events.
While I find no specific information about the 'grounds' of state or county offices such as a parking lot, there are some specific regulations regarding firearms on Federal properties... Example used in one discussion: A postal facility. You cannot carry inside a postal facility OR on the property. Even if you use the drive up drop box to mail your letters, you are 'on the property' and could be cited...
