[QUOTE="JOHNNIE WALKER, post: 1198147, member: 67011"] Laws differ per state. But I usually just remove the primer, and call it good. You can also pull the breech plug and push out the charge. Shooting the rifle makes a lot of noise, and can attract attention, and then requires cleaning. No primer, no fire, at least in my mind. I've left smoke poles charged for weeks at a time, in all types of conditions. The old Hawken percussion rifle used to give me fits, but I don't think I've ever had a problem with the inline. Back in September, on day 4 of my elk hunt, after 2 days of hunting in rain, it made a nice boom that sent a 300 gr Thor though a bull at 100yds. I charged it when I set up camp, and touched her off when the elk was lined up. If it were me, I'd just pull the primer and call it good. [/QUOTE]
