    How do you carry your rifle?

    Just wondering how everyone carries their rifle?

    Bullet up the chamber bolt half cocked?
    Bullet up the chamber, bolt down. safety on?
    Empty chamber with the bolt closed?
    Dead bolt on live round (cringe)

    Personally i use the half cock method, but maybe it isn't suitable. If everyone walks around with half cock it seems that the mindset is to be prepared for a quick reflex shot, maybe without identifying your target fully. Maybe it should be mandatory to carry all firearms on an empty chamber when hunting which could result in a few extra seconds to identify the target better. Just an idea and not implying that half cock is the reason why people are getting shot.
