I just got my first Co2 gun a Crosman 2240. I'd like to know if it's OK to leave the Co2 cartridge in the pistol for a week or so and when it's time to take it out ( and cartridge is not empty) what's the best way, for example: loosen the cap and let the Co2 leak out slowly, dry fire till the cartridge is empty, or use up a bunch of pellets shooting till it's empty? Any insight would be appreciated.
