A carrying strap for a weapon, attached to the weapon in such manner that it forms a loop intended to be kept across one shoulder and the back, whereby the weapon can be held in front of the person supported by the carrying strap, ready to fire. A drawback of all carrying straps is that the weapon is hanging upside down when in the ready-to-fire position. The carrying strap of the invention has, at least at one attachment point, a laterally stiff strap section so that the center of gravity of the weapon, in correct ready-to-fire position, lies below the line defined by the stiffener and the other attachment point.
