muzzle-down carry
I tried searching this, but couldn't get anything, maybe due to bad word choice. Anyway, way back when, I and most of the others I've asked carried a Car-15 with a 3/4 inch nylon strap from the front sight to rear of stock, slung over left shoulder, muzzle pointing to a spot about fifteen feet ahead and ten feet to the left. Just about all the pictures I've seen from current operations show a carry with the muzzle pointing within a couple of feet of the left boot, resulting in a bent right wrist that LOOKS like it would be uncomfortable as hell after just a few minutes, plus making the safety harder to dis-engage. Is this carry current doctrine? What's the reasoning?
