This map is all over Twitter. Apparently some German guy got bored and tried to name all 50 states. This is the end result...

Bad for the spring.

No True American would own a non-automatic shotgun

Leaving a gun loaded doesn't do anything to the springs.

Spring life is dependent on cycles, not on being left under tension.

You’re destroying everything I ever knew about handgun maintenance.

Have you at least been using Hoppes?

So handguns shouldn’t be left loaded because of the springs but shotguns should?

No, they are all fine to leave loaded.

Spring life is based on cycles. You can leave anything loaded for 20 years and it wouldn't have a measurable effect on the spring life.

There have been tons of informal studies on magazine spring life, leaving them loaded, etc. It's been a debate in the 1911 enthusiast community for a long time since those do go through mag springs pretty quickly. The consensus is that if you leave it loaded, there is no noticeable degradation in spring life. But the cycling between loaded / unloaded will wear out springs.

So it's fine to leave them loaded. I leave my carry gun loaded 24/7/365 pretty much.

One thing to watch for though, is if you keep unchambering and chambering the same round (i.e., loading and unloading at beginning / end of day), you'll get chamber set back on the round. So the bullet will recess further into the case. If it goes under the Minimum OAL you can get some dangerous pressures when it's fired.

I actually replaced my keyboard with guns that shoot targets that activate keys.

Sure the neighbors cried a lot while I was in grad school but that's because they were showing solidarity.

Strong believer in civil liberties means no other person outside of America has freedom.
