Just started carrying recently. I carry a shield 9 in a crossbreed supertuck iwb holster.

Question is, what's your technique for when you poop in public restrooms with the bottom of the stalls open?


Serious questions here people.

PERSONALLY, I.....

Dan:
I've wondered what other people do too. Personally, I place my pistol on the tank top. I've read of some people forgetting it was there & walking away. The idea of doing that scares me so bad, I feel sure I wouldn't. Rarely, but occasionally, some stalls have a clothes hook in the stall. I'd consider CAREFULLY hooking the pistol thru the trigger guard behind the trigger.

#1, I try and avoid doing #2 in a public restroom :)


If that can not be avoided, I first look for a family restroom if the facility is large enough.
Otherwise I will use a handicapped stall.


95% of the time I ankle carry (since 1980) and pocket carry so I am not too concerned. The rest of the time I am usually wearing a large sidearm and a real belt/holster combination so it just stays there.
 
Also not a fan of public bathrooms. However:
1. Unless you try to have sex with the toilet you are not going to get Hep B or Hep C.
2. Avoid licking the toilet & wash your hands when you are done and Hep A is not an issue either.

That's good advice. :D :D
 
I would not suggest putting your gun on the hook behind the stall door. One you my forget it and two someone can reach over and snatch it (it's happened before). I normally hold the gun in my hand until the paperwork is finished, then put it back in my pocket.
 
What not to do:

"A man suffered minor injuries when he accidentally shot himself Tuesday at the Chick-Fil-A at Bridgewater Falls, township police said.

The 45-year-old man, whom police did not name, was pulling his pants up in the restroom at about 2 p.m. when the gun accidentally discharged and the bullet grazed his leg, said Sgt. Jim Souhrada. The man had a concealed carry license to carry the Glock pistol, which did not have a safety, he said."

I was once using the handicapped stall for that very reason. Also just cause I like some space. I see a wheelchair come in and try my door. Curses under his breath. I see him trying to get into a regular stall. No luck. Cursing continues. I can't wait him out, so I have to leave. I drag my leg as if I'm disabled. He wasn't buying it.

I still laugh my *** off till this day thinking about it.
