My German gunsmith buddy said it is safer to carry a gun with the safety off and the trigger unset than with the safety on and the trigger set. The trigger should only be set when you are about to shoot, and if you don't shoot when intended, you should open the gun and release the trigger. BTW it is a very nice gun that I would be very proud to own. I know from personal experience, there are also deer in North Carolina.
