Carrying

I also carry my rifles and shotguns pointing down left side. I do however keep my hand on the forend (shotguns at all times) when hunting. Barrel pointed slightly forward. When a bird flushes I twist the forearm to the left bringing the bbl right and up. It is only slightly slower than port arms and a lot safer. If the bird jumps within 10 yds or so...I can have the first shot off within 20 yds of the gun. Rifles I do the same as Skinny. Safe and effective.
