If I never offbody carry then I can confidently say that I will never leave my gun behind

There's been a split in the original premise of carrying "off body" (briefcase, shoulder pouch, etc.) and those who have related inadvertently leaving their piece after laying it aside temporarily (usually on the toilet or such). I've never done it but have believed many when they say they have and being human, I can understand how some of the intense personal distractions I cited could cause some to do just that. I would like to think I never would, but when my father was on his deathbed in the hospital I laid my cell phone aside to wash my hands and walked off and left it on the sink in a hospital lavatory. Fortunately I caught my mistake before going too far and retrieved it before someone picked it up. Suffice to say, I was distracted and not in a great place mentally. I was just saying that it's dangerous to say "I'd never do that" about a lot of most of the things we fallible humans find ourselves doing. I've always followed the thought of "never say 'never'".
