I prefer not to have any springs compressed unless absolutely necessary. Therefore I always make sure the triggers are not cocked.
Dry fire them before storage or if you don't like the idea of dry fireying (like for rimfires) I press the trigger while closing the bolt at the same time and it de-cocks the trigger that way. Or for semi-auto rimfires, I close the action half way, press trigger and then close action all the way.
