When I get my CHL in the next few weeks, I will be carrying an XDs 45 with an extended magazine in reserve on the opposite hip.

When I encounter a 30.06 at a place I have to go, will I need to remove the extra magazine to enter the business or just the gun?

The bullets are worthless without the gun, but I don't know if the law will see it that way.

Some times I do and others I don't. Generally, I leave both gun and spare mags in the GunVault I have bolted down in the car. I try very hard to avoid this situation, so it's not often.

IANAL. The law concerns concealed handguns. There is no verbiage that mentions magazines or ammunition.

It's unlawful to carry an unloaded handgun concealed past a 30.06 sign, if that's what you're asking.

However, there's no prohibition on carrying ammunition past a 30.06 sign.

I usually keep the spare mag on me when I enter a 30.06 zone.

As a side note, if I enter a 2nd Amendment free zone such as a post office, federal building, etc., I usually leave both the gun and spare mag behind.

Except for Doctors office(disrobing) I carry my spare ammo,mag,speedloader ect. Past unavoidable 30.06 signs.
