[QUOTE="itchytriggerfinger, post: 2618538, member: 24854"] Here in PA the law states that a muzzleloader with the flash pan empty or no cap it is considered unloaded. Using black powder, I routinely leave my flintlock charged with the same charge over 3 weeks during the course of the season unless I have opportunity to shoot at a deer. Never had a problem. I actually have left a charge in one of my flintlocks for over a year from one season to the next and didn’t have any issues getting it to fire. As far as the Co2 devices go, they will not work with a sabot or a bullet with a plastic base or gas check that requires expansion into the grooves to seal. The Co2 will leak right around the bullet without moving it. At least it did not work for me. Now if you remove the flash pan plug and hit it with 120 psi from an air compressor, it comes out like it was shot. Ask me how I know….. [/QUOTE]
