Muzzle Control on Safari

[roverandbrew]

This thread reminds me of the Pre-Sept 11th shoot house argument on high carry vs low carry. The conversation went away when people starting doing real work. I have no issue with someone with an African carry behind me if they are aware of the status of their weapon, aware of the terrain they are walking on or through, to prevent tripping or snagged on a branch. If their head is on a swivel they will manipulate their muzzle as required. I would much rather have a COMPETENT hunter doing whatever he wants behind me than a nervous Nelly doing port arms who carries a rifle a couple times a year.

Good odds you would be dead in a week clearing houses all night, every night, at Port arms. It’s not fast or maneuverable enough.

However, We still use port arms with M1 carbines and M14s while marching and rendering honors for my Legion and VFW posts
