There is a loaded magazine in it but I don't chamber a round. Would that prevent liability? As I read it, no. How about keeping a loaded magazine in a separate location from the firearm? I don't have kids so this isn't an issue for me but I will say that many firearms related legislation is written by people with minimal to zero knowledge of firearms. Here in CA, especially, some of the proposed gun laws are beyond idiotic. Governor Brown, not know as a particularly right leaning governor had to veto an especially moronic one. Gavin Newsome, the biggest POS on two feet, is attempting to get a proposition on the ballot that would effectively ban the sale of ammunition and make rifles with detachable magazine illegal. There's a lot of overreach on the anti 2nd amendment side so incidents like the one in OP need to always be taken with a grain of salt IMO.
Best I can understand it you have to have the gun locked away, the trigger locked, or the ammo locked away.
And it was not intended to punish a parent who just sat a gun done for a moment and the child got hold of it. It was aimed more at the way the gun was secured when the parent was absent.
