The GOAL site summary of H4885 says this:

  • September 13, 1994 only grandfathers large capacity feeding devices that are:
  • Kept on private property and only controlled by the owner.
  • Not on private property open to the public without the expressed permission of the property owner.
  • While at a retailer or gunsmith, but only for repairs.
  • At a licensed shooting range or competition venue.
  • Must be stored unloaded in a secured locked container.
  • Can only transfer to heir or a person outside of the state.
So all pre-ban AR mags have to be stored empty and locked up?
And evidently that means you can no longer keep a loaded rifle in the house?

It's ridiculous. Plus I like to load them at home to save time at the range/match. Guess I can't do that anymore.

Yeah, no on the unloaded at home

1534 (c) Subsection (a) shall not apply to large capacity feeding devices lawfully possessed on September 13, 1994 only if such possession is: (i) on private property owned or legally controlled by the person in possession of the large capacity feeding device; (ii) on private property that is not open to the public with the express permission of the property owner or the property owner’s authorized agent; (iii) while on the premises of a licensed firearms dealer or gunsmith for the purpose of lawful repair; (iv) at a licensed firing range or sports shooting competition venue; or (v) while traveling to and from these locations; provided, that the large capacity feeding device is stored unloaded and secured in a locked container in accordance with sections 131C and 131L

The only unloaded requirement is for transport.
 
The kept on private property "and only controlled " by the owner is also incorrect

You can have them on private property you own or control.
The control refers to the location not the magazine.
