Seems I remember my Dad (back in the 50's) carrying his hammer gun cocked and open with shells in place. He would not shoot (go to the point with gun closed) unless the dog pointed and held the bird.
I have done this when I hunted alone with a hammer gun and it worked fine for me. No one else to worry about.....
