Having magazines loaded over long periods of time worries me some.
Magazine springs weaken with use, not with storage, loaded or not. I recently found a Hi Power magazine that I had loaded 30 years ago. It had gotten packed up with some things when moving and the box got put on a shelf and never unpacked until a few months ago. Took it to the range and at ran fine. Still does.
But if I know I'm going to be in a gun fight tomorrow, I'm taking a rifle, body armor and plenty of back up.
