When nature calls and your carrying

[kakarote9130]

Let's say your at your favorite store. Pick anyone you like.
Then it happens! Oops gotta poop!
As we all know, those stalls ain't quite low enough to hide your feet. And with those Levi's down low, what happens to that 1911 in your deep conceal holster or paddle holster? What happens if your short term neighbor spots it down under?
How would you react?

I swing my holster around so the gun is on my lap. Do you really want your clothing wiping up the floor in a public restroom? Some of these places make me want to disinfect my rubber slop boots.

Whatever you do, leave it in the holster. The last place for it is on top of the toilet paper holder or handicap rail. One person 2 stalls down could slam a door and the entire stall structure vibrate enough to shed a gun onto the floor.

Gun hits floor and bounces 6' away. Now you really have a problem.

Poop at home!

What I've noticed from news accounts that happens more often than what you described, which can happen, is that a carrier unholsters, places it in the spots you mentioned or hangs it from the coat hook by the trigger guard, and then leaves it . . .

Though I tend to be able to manage my bodily functions so as to avoid any use of public facilities that require me to 'sit,' when I do have the 'need' I simply hang my gun through the trigger guard on the hook...which is usually on the door.

And, with a resounding NO, I have never forgotten my gun in almost forty (40) years of CCW.

Be safe.

I keep it in the holster but don't drop my pants to the floor. (just below my knees.)

When nature calls and you have no choice I simply remove it from my holster sit and place it in my underwear where it is out of sight but with in reach.

i hate it when its a pressing issue i aint gunna get my holster or gun dirty i can always wash my clothes or u can stand on the seat

First off you can't see that far into the stall unless you lay on the floor or something.

9 times out of 10 there is something to put your gun on. The toilet paper dispenser, baby changing ststion, a little shelf or something. Otherwise I just keep the gun holstered but that almost never happens, there is always something to put the gun on

Pocket carry stays in pocket, Ankle carry stays on ankle, belly band stays in belly band. You get the drift. There are ways to carry that you don't have to disarm to drop your pants. For the ladies it is a totally different ball game. On TV, the hot fem fatal with the garter holster, She'll never get her nylons off in time to pee. Of the female detectives I know (2 are in the family and 2 others), when in plain cloths at least the BUG is on the ankle. Anything on the waistline presents concealment problems of their own. When in utilities or in uniform, they open carry like they are suppose to. Ivan

Ok, islamoradamark, how does that last part work. I am trying to visualize it, but it seems as though you would be looking like a peeping guy up there on the seat. What are you doing up there. I see that you are probably not gonna get your gun or holster dirty, but what can you do standing on the seat??????

 

[deriter]

I think BAM-BAM has an excellent idea, the shoulder holster!

 

[deriter]

Ivan has some good ideas as well. When possible, plan ahead. But one never knows for sure after eating somewhere what will happen for sure half an hour or so later.

 

[Hot Toddy]

I just take care of business knowing my 1066 is in my High Noon shoulder holster or my 457 inside my leather vest. I have found driving and "taking care of business" is no issue. I also have sciatica in my right hip so carrying my wallet and cigars in my vest also very convenient. Just some thoughts. Amazingly enough I found the shoulder holster easier in the summer time.
Take care and God Bless!!

So YOU are the guy I always used to see doing that in the restrooms at Papa Joes, Bass Pro, Holiday Isle, Smugglers Cove, Oceanview, etc!!! It was the Keys, so it didn't really stand out as being that weird.
