Considering that I used to give those courses, even basic gunsmithing courses, maybe I know something? Up to you guys to believe what you want.
For a whole lot of legal and mechanical reasons; do not ever leave a magazine loaded unless you are going to shoot it in the next little while.
Yes, some folks leave ammo in mags, yes, sometimes it causes zero problems, but the practice is discouraged because the last thing you want is a malfunctioning magazine.
Is the risk worth being too lazy for some preventative maintenance? That's your call guys. But think about it; even in airsoft, a gun with a faulty magazine spring is a fancy paperweight.
(Revolvers dont care because they dont use a magazine, but it's a legal problem)
