How to poop with a CCW

[Biggfoot44]

Yes , this is a serious topic.

As noted , the hooks on the door are a bad idea , unless you are inside a secured facility.

The when all else is not practical, default solution is to place the gun in the crotch area of the pants , but underneath the underwear.

If the stall has a solid wall on the gun side becomes a viable choice.

Depending on the specific gun and holster, put the waistband of the underwear over top of the gun to disguise it.

I personally know of too many guns left behind on toilet tanks. Tank lids often are not level , and porclen is slick. Twist around or shift your weight while doing paperwork , and they can slide off. And an increasing number of public restrooms use the metal vavle with handle or infared sensor instead of a tank..

Lots of variables as to the design and placement of TP dispensers and handicaped rails, and baby changing stations. Sometimes they are both capable of securely storing a gun , AND not within reach of over or under a divider , some times one or both is not.


And while on the subject of public restrooms , standing at a urinal leaves you vulverable to being sucker pucnched in the back of the head , or having head slammed into the wall in front of you. Using a stall give another layer of defense.

I was taught to place the weapon in your trousers between your legs, no way to forget it there. Saw a few guys catch a suspension when the left their weapons on toilet tanks.

Or a shoulder holster!

Gingerly place it in the pants/underpants area, between your legs, when you pull your pants down. There is no way you can forget it and it is easy to get to in the unfortunate event you need it in a hurry.

People do forget them when leaving stalls.

This. You have control of your weapon.

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.

As the father of a disabled son, who has many times had to struggle getting him into a regular bathroom stall because some able bodied person has taken the handicap stall, I find this behavior, and the fact that you still find it funny disgusting.
Those stalls are put there for people who actually need them. Not for those who like a little extra leg room.

But then what do you do when it's 110 degrees in the summer or taking your jacket off indoors

So here's a question for you guys about the handicap toilet. Now don't get me wrong I'm not advocating everyone just use the handicap stall but.....what do you do when you gotta go and the only other stall is occupied. Do you wait and wait on the odd chance that a handicap person (a real handicap person) had to use it or do you use the handicap stall? I personally just use the second stall. Now I have never ever ran into a handicap person in the bathroom but sometimes while you're doing your business the guy occupying the 1st stall is done and leaves. This makes it seem to to the next person that you intentionally used the handicap stall

I poop my pants

Guys, ditch the kbm6893 pile on -- he's already acknowledged error, that the laughter was at himself, and that he never did it again. Unless you've never wronged, even a little, don't get too righteous.

As to the OP:

I simply **** my pants; if the first rule of self-defense is avoiding the people you might have to defend against, my technique goes one better: it makes them avoid you.

....what do you do when you gotta go and the only other stall is occupied. Do you wait and wait on the odd chance that a handicap person (a real handicap person) had to use it or do you use the handicap stall?

This is a reasonable question.

For me, the answer is simple. I would only be in the public restroom if it were an emergency anyway. So, I'll pick the one that's available. I wouldn't choose the handicap one first, but if it's the only one left, I'll use it. I'll do my thing and get out. It was an emergency after all.

That is the only time I'd do that.

 

[kbm6893]

Oh, stop with the righteous indignation. I was 23 years old and I was busted. So I tried to cover my mistake and it backfired. My laughter to this day was at me being busted.

So I guess if you have an emergency and the regular stall is occupied, that using the handicapped stall is also such a transgression?

Lighten up, people.

 

[ladder13]

Well, that didn't take long.....showin' ya true colors and all,
That just sad.

Not like it's the first time.

Not a bad idea. Hang that thing around your neck carefully. They did make lanyards years ago...

Still with the FD vs PD thing? Land Pirates just can't let it go.

A former female colleague wore mid calf type boots with her uniform. According to her, with those particular boots there was sufficient space to "holster" her sidearm between the boot top & her leg.

Having been in the position of having to trying to get my son out of his wheelchair into a regular size stall. Having to leave the chair out of the stall and the door open for all the world to see him and I work to get his clothes off and situated to use the bathroom. All because someone else has decided to use the handicap stall, I'd rather poop my pants than take a chance to put another dad in that position with his child. Or an adult who uses a walker or chair and needs the supports.

In my younger days before being in the position to see it from another side, I would have used the stall in an emergency situation, now I wouldn't even consider it.

Perspective on things gives you reasons to change your outlook and your actions. Sometimes until you stand in someone elses place, you may not understand fully what your actions do to them without your intentions being bad.

We're not talking opening the paper and settling in like we do at home. A quick deuce and out should take no more than a minute or two, and I believe I can recall a disabled person coming into the bathroom while I am even in the room in my life on less than 2 hands.

Course it's not funny making a disabled person struggle more in his already difficult life. But lighten up, people. Nobody is kicking puppies here.

Take it out and put it on the toilet paper dispenser or anything that acts as a shelf. Just don't forget it afterwards.

Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad advice. This is the first comment I read before I replied. I know of two people personally who have left firearms in the stall, and have read news accounts of multiple other similar occurrences. Firearms get left on the toilet paper holder, the top of the tank, and hanging by the trigger guard from the coat hook on the door. DON'T DO IT. Leave it in the holster, keep your pants high so the adjoining poopers don't see it, and do your business. There are multiple accounts of firearms left on toilet paper dispensers or shelves or coat hooks or the top of the tank, but not one, not even one, of a firearm being found in a holster attached to a pair of pants in a toilet stall.

Here endeth the lesson.

Well, this thread started with poop -- shouldn't be surprised it's gone to it, I guess...

Never left a firearm. Never will. It would be like forgetting to put my pants on before walking out. When I go in a stall out comes my gun, cell phone and smokes. All go in the same spot assuming there is one. Absent minded people maybe forget but that's their problem.
