Don't Mexican carry a Glock or any gun that lacks a frame mounted safety. I'd honestly be hesitant to carry a round in the chamber, if I had no choice but to mexican carry.

Isn't there some safety rule or something about don't point the muzzle at anything you don't want to destroy? 

Maybe I dreamt it one night!

its a common sense and basic gun safety practice to do so.

if you dont plan on destroying it. dont aim your firearm at it. finger off triger til you are ready to destroy, etc stuff like that
