What does the elbow carry method risk in terms of muzzle control?

The elbow carry method is a way of holding a firearm that involves resting the firearm against your body's elbow. While this method may feel comfortable, it has inherent risks concerning muzzle control. Specifically, the muzzle is not pointed in a safe direction at all times, especially when the firearm is positioned horizontally across your body, which can lead to pointing the muzzle towards yourself or others unintentionally. This position makes it challenging to maintain constant awareness of the muzzle's direction, leading to situations where the firearm could be accidentally pointed at someone or something that should not be targeted. Ensuring the muzzle is always pointed in a safe direction is crucial for safety, and the elbow carry does not consistently provide this level of control, thus making the control of the muzzle not ideal.
