If you keep your magazine tube loaded all the time should you unloaded sometimes when it may not be necessary to use the gun

If you don't need the gun to be loaded, go ahead and unload it. Not so much to save the spring, but to prevent the damage to the shells that can occur when they're kept under long-term spring pressure. Also, safety.
