Default Can the swing tongue be removed? Can it then also be used?

I just bought a 3124 that has a swing tongue, but haven't seen it yet. My understanding is that the tongue attaches to the trailer with a pin on each side, and so it can be easily removed. Is that correct?

And if so, or even if it is not removed but just swung to the side, the tongue jack doesn't support the weight of the tongue, correct? My thinking is that weight is supported entirely on the stabilizer jacks.

I'm going to have this TM setup in one spot for an extended period, including some times when it will not be attended (out in the boonies), and so I'm wondering if the tongue can be removed, and left removed, to deter theft. And if so, can the trailer be inhabited with the tongue removed? I can't see any obvious reason why not.
