[panhandle]

[Lost Lake]

It will be far better for me to not post a dang thing here....

Just wanted to let you know, there's a couple CHOICE apples hanging right there on the bottom branches though if some wise guy wants to jump on them....

Where's the bite-my-tongue emoticon?

Try always using the last urinal where the side you are carrying will face the wall. This lowers the chance of someone sneaking up to grab your handgun. If the last urinal is being used and you can't wait, then use a stall.

Well,
if you are at a urinal and someone goes after your firearm, shoot him with your other "gun" while you are in mid stream! Remember..... better to be pissed off than pissed on!

adjustable wrench OK!!

Women tend not to use urinals...

I have seen it happen, but it is the exception and not the rule.

Let's hear it for "not the rule".

"No hands", perhaps?

Don't answer that, I don't want to know.

Actually, other criminal acts (robbery, etc) are more likely than grasping at a concealed firearm. Just go in a stall and latch the door - not secure, but buys you time. I avoid rest areas as much as possible, but on a trip there may not be much choice.

I remember reading a magazine article by Massad Ayoob several years ago covering just this topic. Being a LEO, Mr. Ayoob apparently (Open) belt carries most of the time. He also advocated using a stall (next to the wall, if possible) whenever using a public bathroom. As I recall, he was taught this by one of his students, who he gave full credit to. I remember thinking he (Ayoob) must be a pretty good guy to give credit where it is due. I've run into plenty that didn't, and I've never been impressed by them.

Dave

Had I not seen otherwise at the Omni in Atlanta I would not of asked, LOL!!

If you're really concerned, sinks have mirrors.

 

[Mule Packer]

Y'know, I'd never given it much of a thought because I normally carry concealed.

Normally, the only thing that causes me real concern in a public restroom is when some weird guy comes in and starts kissing the toilet seats.

 

[gregintenn]

I've never been harrassed in a public restroom. I guess there's a first time for everything, however.

 

[Retired LTC USAR]

What my concern is when using hte urnial is someone rushing up behind me and pushing my head into the wall and knocking me out, then robbing me.

Eagles '76 or perhaps Bob Segar '77?

Carry condiments such as pepper spray.

As far as carrying in the can, think about your carry rig so that you're not exposing more than you have to in the john. I do happen to appendix carry a J-frame most of the time, so its always close to my hand, so to speak, in those delicate situations. i train to shoot one-handed, by the way - still not good at multi-tasking, so someone might get wet... Not really my problems if someone chooses the wrong time to mess with me.

I live outside Atlanta... those weren't women.

Stand close... it's shorter than you think!
