Late reply, but no, not unless you are parked on a steep hill without any sidewalks. Leaving it parked in gear puts a great deal of stress on the clutch. Clutches aren't very fun or easy to replace. If you're on a hill with a sidewalk you should turn your front tires away from sidewalk on the incline, and towards the sidewalk on the decline.

Why would there be load on the clutch if the handbrake is on?

I was thinking you meant parking in gear rather than with the parking brake. My bad. You're totally right though.
