i have an over/under shotgun that i use snap caps to release the hammer when i store it. people have told me that you should do that and not to leave it cocked. not sure why, but i do it anyway.

now i just got a pump rifle. is there a way to do the same thing with a pump? currently i'm storing it with the action open. i actually haven't tried squeezing the trigger when it's open, just assumed you can't. or should i be closing the action, squeezing the trigger with snap caps, and storing it like that.
