It doesn't hurt the magazine to leave it loaded. I have over 20 very well used PMags for my AR-15's, and 15 well-used mags (from various manufacturers) for my 1911s, and all of them stay filled, and the weapons they're for stay in condition 1 all the time (and have for the last five years or so). By "well-used", I mean a coupel thousand rounds through all of the mags, with sometimes long periods between being used.
