Because of being dedicated to keeping my rifles showroom ready, and because of horrible tragedies like the granddaughter incident above, I do not believe in leaving loaded guns laying around so I always unload daily.

But it's not necessary to go through all the trouble of shooting and cleaning the rifle.
At the end of the day, I either "pull" my load or "blow" them out with compressed air depending on where I am.

Then I just wipe the bore and vent liner, take the rifle inside the house to get it warm and dry...load fresh the next morning and go again.

And...never have to worry about that rifle again...if I wake up and it's raining, or an emergency comes up and I can't go, or I get busy with work, or get invited on a duck hunt, or decide to hunt a different caliber, etc, etc, etc...before you know it, weeks / months can go by as a result of a strange set of circumstances...but my peace of mind is that it won't matter to me because that rifle will be clean, lubed, and empty unless I'm actually hunting with it.
