Its not a problem to keep them stored with air pressure.
In fact, that is the best way to store them. That way you keep the seals
seated well. If it is stored empty, you could find that the seals might not want
to seat again.

I store all my PCP's with some pressure in em for just the reason that ShadowShot mentioned....  I'll usually leave around 1000 psi in em at least.

I make a point of filling mine back up after a shooting session, that way I know they're ready for that shot at the marauding starlings :-).  I USUALLY shoot regularly, at least a couple of times every week, so my guns don't tend to sit for long periods.  Later.
