Probably a great idea teaching new shooters to tag their rifles, especially if loaded and standing. Some of us have been brought up differently, or have short attention spans.
I don't unload until I either change loads or harvest and clean. BUT, my household and entire family were brought up knowing EVERY firearm IS loaded and must be confirmed unloaded.
Certainly glad he didn't double load.
Witness marks are a requirement, not an option.

It's not expensive with an inline. The load can be pushed out and reused.

Not true in all inlines.........

Yeah that would be a bit difficult in a bolt or plunger type. Break opens make it easier.

Not at all. Everybody thinks you have to push out the load through the breech. I don't do that, because it gets powder in the threads.

Take out the breech plug with the barrel pointed down over a bowl. Then push the load out the muzzle. Pushing on the powder works fine. Pick the bullet out of the powder in the bowl and pour the powder back in the bottle, or throw it away. The bullet is the expensive part. All done and the gun doesn't need any cleaning.

OR I could leave it loaded and instead use that time to play with my daughter when I get home or make a pot of coffee or talk to my wife about how her day has been ect.

I always have 60 seconds to unload.

Nobody says you have to unload, but don't have silly excuses for not doing it.

So the desire to not waste money and time is a "silly excuse"? Got it.

Muley, you really are a cantankerous old goat. But we love you anyway.

yeah no way i am unloading every day lol.

Especially my sidelocks! I have my flinter loaded now for a week, hanging on the wall with a cows knee tied into place.
