PSA 300 blackout. It happened sometime between chambering the round and sitting in a safe for a few months. I'm a little worried about driving it around with a round chambered. Are my concerns warranted? Or is this normal and ok?

AR15 has a floating firing pin. Your primers will always look like that after dropping the bolt on them. Nothing to worry about.

This is the reason they make harder "military" primers.
 
Point the weapon in a safe direction when you chamber the round.
If will shoot from an inertia-driven firing pin movement, it will happen then . Not a minute, hour, or month later.
