If you want to say that loaded magazines shouldn't be stored for mechanical, practical or other such considerations, fine. However, don't say it's illegal in Canada because it's not.
So long as the magazine is not in the firearm, i.e. loaded into the magazine well, the firearm itself is considered to be unloaded. Normal safe storage rules, as defined by the Act, apply to all ammunition regardless of whether it is in a box, a plastic baggie or a magazine.
Don't invoke the law to spread misinformation.
If you want to get involved in a pissing match over who knows more about what, great, but leave the Act out of it.

Bleh, cops say that kind of shit for the same reason everyone else does. They like to sound like they know stuff. A lot of people will make up shit and act like they know things, even when they don't know the legislation.
Perfect example, ask the average person on the street what the "legal" length of a knife is in Canada. Most will say that it's six inches, despite the fact that no such law exists in Canada.
