I'm with the group that walks with a hammer gun cocked and open. Obviously, if the gun design doesn't allow that, you can't do it that way. DUH! I would not walk with it cocked and closed. Some guns are relatively easy to cock (both hammers) while raising the gun to shoot, others are not. Walking up to the dog with hammers cocked and gun closed is as unsafe as walking up with the safety off. Don't do it!
