I see your points and also considered that you have better control over the trigger if it's away from you but in the event of a negligent discharge isn't the barrel pointed up much more dangerous? I know it should be unloaded and cleared but you always treat a firearm as if it isn't. This is what conflicts me. I believe in following safety rules very very closely with something like this and I have a hard time feeling comfortable with rifle barrels pointed up.
