If it has a removable breach plug you can push everything out, it won’t go off.
Or as Yukon said, shoot it into a safe direction and just take the 20 minutes to clean it. If you don’t have time to clean it properly and store it properly then may I suggest not using a muzzleloader.
Are you allowed to transport muzzleloaders with just the powder and projectile, as long as the primer is removed? How long is your season? If you are going to hunt again before the end, you could do that. Then clean after the season.

Kinda makes sense, imagine to unload , legally , shoot it off everyday , noone going do that Yeah, I think that is why most states allow you to do that. I have an in-line so it is easier to remove the plug and push everything out. Rather than traditional muzzleloaders. Hope you get a deer and it doesn’t matter!

Kinda makes sense, imagine to unload , legally , shoot it off everyday , noone going do that Iowa is a constitutional carry state. You can carry any loaded gun anytime you want to, even hunting. ... well except certain buildings and places like that. No guns need to be unloaded or cased anymore while hunting or trapping.

I don't how corrosive the powder in the primers you fired before loading the rifle dave but I'd shoot it and clean it the end of the season regardless. Definitely, then next season you don’t forget that you left it loaded and cause an injury to yourself!

Just sitting in the barrel, the pellets are not doing the barrel any favors. Breech plug corrodes too. Only problem I find is the humidity change from extremely cold to a warm house can cause misfires or hang fires.

Are you saying having loaded firearms in a truck or home is dangerous? What? How did you get that from what he posted?
