Carry it with the hammers cocked, but the action open. just make sure your finger is not inside the triggerguard until you mount the gun.
I am sure that works well in open country- but you'll never get through one of my northeast woodcock covers that way. The gun in the right hand as the left fights off briers on your way to the dog.
IMHO- rebounding hammers are as safe (if not more so) than the trigger blocking safety on most double guns. Cock the hammers on the rise for upland birds- I am lucky my thumb will fit across both hammers of my 12's - but the motion of cocking while raising a gun is learned quickly
the 10's are waterfowl guns and it takes a little practice to cock left then right in a smooth hurry - practice is what clays are for.
