It wasn't designed to be carried like that, but that is the accepted and most popular way in modern times.
Half cock is NOT a safe carry position. If the gun falls on the hammer, it can break and have enough momentum to fire a round straight up at you.
If you want to carry uncocked, lower the hammer all the way down onto the nice inertial firing pin Browning designed for safe carry. (Which is probably closest to how the gun was "designed" to be carried.)
Otherwise, buy a modern gun with a decocker and DA trigger.
