Proper restroom etiquette with a concealed weapon
« on: August 30, 2012, 09:50:37 AM »
Haven't seen much information on this for some reason, but it's something most all of us face at one time or another. You get the call of nature, head for the restroom stall, close the door and now you have to deal with the weapon you've got stashed in your special place. If you carry something light in your pocket it usually stays put but if your pants are down, it can fall out. Even a holstered gun can flop around and put yourself, and others, in a less than ideal position. I saw this news story and looked up some information on the subject.

Seems like even the Secret Service has problems with this issue:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57503016-503544/secret-service-gun-inadvertently-left-in-romney-plane-lavatory/

Here's an instructive news story including a video of a sweet young lady demonstrating the fine art of dropping one's pants and controlling your weapon.
http://www.outdoorhub.com/how-to/video-how-to-carry-a-concealed-pistol-in-public-bathrooms/

I agree that the WORST way to handle the situation is to remove your gun and set it down somewhere. That's a sure-fire way to forget it and could lead to a bunch of headaches and possible legal problems. I manage to keep my Kimber in place with a good holster and careful knee management technique.

I know some of you younger guys like to keep your hands on your weapon every chance you get, but lets keep this topic on firearms only.  :chuckle:

Good topic.  :tup: Unless the stall walls extend all the way to the floor, simply ploping down on the ground is unacceptable  :bdid: on at least a.few occasions I've read about "that guy" who makes the news when the neighbor on the next stall reaches over and borrows the firearm.  :bash:

I look to put it on the flat top of the toilet dispenser, loop the belt through it and hang it on the coat rack, wedge it between the handicap rail and the wall, or as a last result, in the ass hat dispenser. I'm pretty dumb but I can't possibly imagine forgetting  my firearm in a restroom.

If you have your pants down to your ankles place the weapon in the middle where your johnson goes.

When I worked for DOC, there was a corrections officer who was taking an inmate to a hospital appointment who left her loaded H&K .40 in a public restroom in the hospital.  Fortunately it was found by hospital staff and not some young kid or whoever else wanders through hospital ER's (also fortunately, there were no situations that arose during the hospital trip where she might have needed the firearm to secure the inmate).  Point is, if you set it down, there is the possibility of forgetting it.




Oh, and the gal that did that was reassigned as punishment..... to an armed post in the main control room of the facility.   :yike: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

well they make a holster for women for concealed carry its here if you all want to go look

http://flashbangholster.com/

yes the holster attaches to your bra, one of the members here has one and she really likes it  I have never tried one.  I dont concealed carry often except in the woods and either the pistol is in my pocket or its in a shoulder harness so again the belted issue is sort of avoided  :dunno: and I was gonna say if it was one of them tiny guns I could just jam it in the ol cleavage heck the droid phone conceals in there no reason a gun might not, I do however consider the issue of safety and accidental discharge worse thing my phone is gonna do is vibrate or ring  :dunno:

and TMI people you are discussing bathroom etiquette once you cross the threshold to bathroom talk TMI goes out the window  :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle:

When wearing IWB, depending on what I am wearing for pants, sometimes I take my weapon out of the holster and put it in my front pocket until I am done. OWB usually I put my knee under the belt and hold it in place with my knees. Or IWB or OWB I just keep one hand on the weapon, the other on the gun  :chuckle:

If carrying IWB I just kinda flop the holster into my pants as I pull em down so that it ends up between my feet.

This is a good point. I've never ever come close to forgetting it, but nobody is perfect. Better safe than sorry and gotta know yourself and personal limitations.

Just unholster and hold it, then reholster before leaving the stall.

I fold mine back inside my pants. So there is no way it can fall out and no way to drop it or leave it behind. If it did slide out, it would just fall into my jeans, rather then the floor.

If in a stall I either set it on the tp holder, or tuck it under my armpit. I have issues sometimes when Im carrying IWB and I just go pee in a urinal. Then I have to make sure my untucked shirt stays low enough to keep it concealed, or that the weight of the gun doesnt make my pants fall down too far. Usually if I have the option and Im carrying IWB instead of pocket carry, Ill go to the stall even if just to pee. Thats one of the big reasons that I pocket carry whenever possible. IWB carry makes it a little more of a pain.
 Today I went and bought some camo clothes, and had to try stuff on in the fitting room, so I just took my gun off and set it down while I changed. Im positive that I would never forget my gun. Its part of my checklist.. Keys, Cell Phone, Wallet, Gun, Knife, Cigarettes, Lighter, CHECK!

I wear a paddle holster, so either I just take the whole paddle off and hang it on the coat hook. If I am not wearing a paddle I will make due... Normally I just plan ahead... If it is a semi-private bathroom I will just unholster and set it on the counter...

My wife worked in an office where one of her coworkers had left his Glock on the back of the his/hers bathroom toilet a few times. The last time I just happened to be there when she told him his weapon was left in the bathroom again.
I asked him what rig he carried his Glock in?
He replied, "what’s a rig?"
I said "you know, a holster?"
he says, "oh I do need a holster."
I asked him "how are you carrying your Glock?"
He says, " I just stick it in my waist band of my pants."
He is wearing a pair of slacks, without a belt.

After a few seconds of me just staying at him in disbelief,
I said, "you are carrying a locked and loaded Glock, gangster?"
I turned to my wife and said. "then next time you see his weapon left in the bathroom, call the police to come get it, this guy is to stupid to own a handgun!"
After a few minutes I explained how dangerous carrying any weapon that way is, and I did send him some links to handgun classes in the area and recommended a couple holsters that would work. I emphasized that he needed to learn handgun safety, along with the news clip about the guy in Wal-Mart who shot himself when his weapon fell down the inside of his sweatpants while carrying in his waistband.

My wife worked in an office where one of her coworkers had left his Glock on the back of the his/hers bathroom toilet a few times. The last time I just happened to be there when she told him his weapon was left in the bathroom again.
I asked him what rig he carried his Glock in?
He replied, "what’s a rig?"
I said "you know, a holster?"
he says, "oh I do need a holster."
I asked him "how are you carrying your Glock?"
He says, " I just stick it in my waist band of my pants."
He is wearing a pair of slacks, without a belt.

After a few seconds of me just staying at him in disbelief,
I said, "you are carrying a locked and loaded Glock, gangster?"
I turned to my wife and said. "then next time you see his weapon left in the bathroom, call the police to come get it, this guy is to stupid to own a handgun!"
After a few minutes I explained how dangerous carrying any weapon that way is, and I did send him some links to handgun classes in the area and recommended a couple holsters that would work. I emphasized that he needed to learn handgun safety, along with the news clip about the guy in Wal-Mart who shot himself when his weapon fell down the inside of his sweatpants while carrying in his waistband.
sad but i couldnt help but lmao at I said, "you are carrying a locked and loaded Glock, gangster?"
:yeah: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I only carry my 22 in pocket because I can leave it on safety and choose to not rack one, the sig is always ready to roll so it goes in my shoulder set up so I feel safer not necessarily because pocket carry would be unsafe.... as cute as gangster is I only did that once for pics and it was with an empty gun.... :) cant imagine carrying like that

I was laughing too and what kind of office did you wife work in????

Realestate and property management, lol

A couple days after I had my little talk with him, he actually asked what I meant by "carry Gangster", to pull his chain a little, I said
 "only wanabe gangsters carry thier gun in their waistband, because they were to stupid to realize a little bump on the trigger would light off a round, but did you know that by turning your gun sideways when shooting your target increases size by double?" Then walked away with a straight face.
 He thought for a moment and says "No way,                                  Really?"




Um no!
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144.1
