Me neither especially if it's a blued barrel and I will tell you guys why. I left mine loaded for a week during hunting season last year since I didn't get a shot the first few times I went. When I finally shot it to unload it, I cleaned it and for some reason the barrel seemed to have some rust in it. I didn't realize it would happen in that short time but it did. It was a pita to get out. So from now on I don't leave them loaded either.
