Since your Trojan does not have ejectors dry firing should not be a problem, that's because a Parker does not have firing pins, only hammers. If you should ever dry fire an ejector gun without empty hulls or snap caps open the gun very slowly and press your thumb gently against the ejectors before they fire and this will provide the needed shock absorber. Perhaps Brian Dudley could give some advice on whether your gun should be stored in "relaxed" position. I was told by a gunsmith I trust the design of my Miroko Charles Daly 20ga O/U was such it should be stored with the hammers in relaxed position. It's the only gun I have ever done this for. Knock on wood I have never experienced a gun break a firing pin or hammer/hammer spring.
