I dunno. Maybe I'm grasping at straws?

I'll echo what Five_Point_Five_Six said;
If you are transporting the firearm with a folder you should already know what condition you put the weapon in before you put it in your bag, or crate, or whatever. If you do not, simply fold the brace or stock back into standard position and the charging handle.
If you are using it for a rapid deploy self defense weapon, well then you are training yourself to pull the weapon out, open the folder, and either charge the weapon or check the status at that time. You are not training to shoot the weapon folded, and if you are that's a really poor way to use this system. The Gen 3 can take it without blowing o-rings, but the older gens cannot.
Also if you are at a range that requires empty weapons to have a chamber flag, then simply have it ready like you would any other AR, with a flag in the chamber, unfolded.
I get that these are nit-picks, but they are pretty unnecessary ones too.
