Maybe. Maybe not.I'm willing to bet the shooter isn't a day over 16 years old, clearly a photo taken for posterity.

I believe that is a California/New York compliant loaded magazine. It is done that way so that no unauthorized person will load the magazine in the pistol and possibly hurt themselves or others. If the weapon is needed for self defense the owner need only remove the magazine , remove the cartridges and reload them properly in the magazine. This will give the individual time to think about the situation before actually using the weapon. It also insures that the person does not have time to load an illegal number of rounds in the magazine as that would be bad.Maybe. Maybe not.
