Bolt closed

Quoting SuicidJky

but I hold the trigger down while closing the bolt so its not cocked. a round is just opening and closing the bolt away.

With some rifles that is a very unsafe way to carry. The firing pin on quite a few rifles will be resting on the primer of the round. If dropped it could easily fire the round. I HAVE seen this happen! With some rifles I have had the firing pin actually protrudes PAST the face of the bolt.
