It's normally a real time consumer, but what is the rule about retaining a partial mag that does not hit the ground? Say I know that I want to transit this area with a full mag, can I change mags and retain the partial for later use (as long as it doesn't hit the ground)? What method must I use to retain the mag, can I carry it in my hand, mouth, ear, or must it go in a pocket or mag holder?
