Several companies make IWB mag holders.
Comp-Tac and Tucker Gunleather come to mind.

Personally, I think that you would be wrong in this attitude. It is perfectly within the jury members' rights to disregard the laws of the state if it does not agree with them. The term for it is "jury nullification".In certain states, even printing of the weapon can be considered brandishing a firearm. If I lived in one of those states, then I would consider open carrying magazines to be a form of brandishing, if I was on your jury.

OK... I understand which side of the "slippery slope" you're on... Never mind... Don't want to give the censors yet another chance to close a thread due to the discussion getting interesting...I don't see anything wrong with brandishing laws, if the state has them, so why would I want to nullify by jury?

If you did not plainly see the weapon ITSELF (or outline of it), then you are simply making a guess as to whether of not the person has one or not.
Where are you from Balrog? Perhaps that would explain where your point of view comes from... Here in Texas, the simple display of a firearm does not mean that you are brandishing it.
"brandishing" a weapon is pointing it at someone...
Well....to Unlawfully do so, but yes....that is correct.The point of brandishing laws is to keep people from intimidating others with the threat of deadly force.
See, there ya go! Making assumptions/guesses instead of relying upon hard evidence. I fear you do not recognize the intellectual dishonesty of this?If you have magazines on your belt, I would assume you have a gun.
I do it nearly everyday. Every time I go to the Post Office (because of law) I am forced to remove my weapon from my holster, leave it in my vehicle, then put it back in my holster when I return.I have never seen or even heard of anyone carrying magazines unless they had a gun for it.
Huh? Are you suggesting that only ARMED people become "agitated/belligerent" or that maybe the weapon itself causes that effect? Are there laws in your State prohibiting a person from becoming upset/angry, I hope not.So if someone with magazines exposed on their belt starts becoming agitated and belligerent, I think a reasonable person would conclude they are probably armed.
Then I'd have to say...I am glad you are not writing the law.If they are armed, that would be brandishing in my opinion.
Then count me among the "stupid" every time I disarm (but do not remove my holster/mags).If they are not armed, well it would just be stupid.

As I said before, anything short of actually seeing the weapon (or its outline), should not cause you alarm, let it go.
