			like you guys i dont like leave my side lock loaded over nite but it is more of a i dont want a hang fire in the hunt. 
when i am hunting like this past seasen i was worryed about all the rain and temp diff so i would fire each nite the last day i didnt even bother to bring out the side lock. 
while in camp i leave the gun locked in the truck so it wont sweat and i wipe it with a oil rag and i still got some serfice rust at the tip of the muzzle. 
Like you guys have said you tend to do what works for you i have never had a stuck ball or a fouled barrel so i gess it has been working for me. 
If you guys want to know why i like to fire evey nite my uncle was bear hunting and just pulling the nipple in the evening after about 2 days he seen a bear comeing in when he shot it did nothing he had to shoot a couple primers to get it to go off. 
He did get a bear later in the week but after he told me what happened i have just shot the gun ever evening.  
Now with the inline i just  started to youse with the 209 i dont worry about it as much i dont no if i should.
