Can I Leave my Beer Gun Connected?

[BelligerentAlbino]

I'm new to kegging and trying to figure out the beer gun at the same time. I just put a line splitter into one of my hoses and now I'm wondering if I can just leave the gun connected and stored in the kegerator. Or do I need to disconnect, clean, and sanitize each session I bottle?

I disconnect and clean mine every time...the fact that it is very easy to have something press against the co2 portion of the gun would keep me up at night worrying if I was loosing all of my co2...but thats just me!

That's a great point. I didn't even think of that. But other than the button, does anyone have a concern about leaving beer in the gun and than just purging it before the next fill session?
