I thought someone would have mentioned this possibiity by now, but here goes. The safest way to carry a loaded safetyless hammerless or a cocked and ready hammer gun in the field is with the action open. Without due care and good luck, the hapless hunter, through his staggering and inattentive movements will empty the chambers (been there, done that). That might be avoided by the use of the devices shown here.
