Sling carry
What are the safety concerns for carrying a slung rifle muzzle down?
I just finished the hunter ed course and haven't really needed to carry my rifle outside of its carry bag. The course showed a couple "safe" sling methods, but they were all muzzle up. However, it seems the fastest response, 2-point sling carry is muzzle down on your weak shoulder. I'm not seeing any major issues with this, as the muzzle will always be pointed at the dirt (unless, I guess there's some chance your foot will cross under it).
