Black powder firearms are not considered loaded until a percussion cap is on the nipple, otherwise safe. Of course no one wants powder, ball or wads stuck down a bore. You can put oil down the nipple or bore and let it migrate into the obstruction, if any BP is present it will be neutralized by the oil, at least not ignite by a spark.
