The window on heavy charged dark matter was never open

There is a claim in the literature that charged dark matter particles in the mass range $100(q_{\mathrm{X}}\mathrm{/}e{)}^2\mathrm{T}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}\le m_{\mathrm{X}}\le {10}^8(q_{\mathrm{X}}\mathrm{/}e)\mathrm{T}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}$ are allowed, based on arguing that heavy charged particles cannot reach the Earth from outside the magnetized region of the Milky Way (Chuzhoy-Kolb, 2009). We point out that this claim fails for physical models for the Galactic magnetic field. We explicitly confirm our argument by simulating with the software CRPropa the trajectories of heavy charged dark matter in models of the Galactic magnetic field.
