I'm another that will not tolerate any firearm pointed at anything that isn't to be killed, etc.
On the other hand, the most useful, and fastest carry position I know of is another african carry. Carrying the rifle with a sling, muzzle down and upside down. Or muzzle up. When I'm tracking, or still hunting, that's how I carry mine. Very quick. Just drop your off shoulder, grab the rifle by the forend with your off hand as you do, and rotate it up into position. Smooth and quiet too. E
