Public restrooms

So you are out in public and need to use the restroom. How many of you look for the stall with the child changing station to put your gun and magazines on?

This is a gun fourm. Here we talk about how we carry and what we do every day. Now I know you probably wear your depends so you don't need to use the restroom. But the rest of us do. So I find if I need to take a sh$t I will go into the stall with the child changing station, flip it down, put all my gear on it, and take a sh%t. Its convenient. You can just sh%t in your dipper and keep smiling :clap:

If due to atire or other issues that make leaving it on the belt the hammock is my choice.

I have to ask .. been carrying guns for some time. Why are some guys taking their gun out of the holster to take a dump?

Is this a tactical thing so if someone bum rushes the stall you can quickly bring your gun into play out of your skidded up drawers?

I just pull my pants down and rest the muzzle of the holstered gun on the floor. Its still right on my belt on my pants. When I am done with my business I simply pull my pants up with gun still attached. If you are worried that your gun will fall out .. its time for a new holster.

Way I figure it .. with all the trigger discipline and thoughts of safety that anyone can muster .. the safest thing is to not mess with your gun unless you are drawing it to put it away or to shot someone.

Som dont want their gun seen below the stall or the weight of the gun rolls it over with out your body to hold it upright. Or their holster isnt looped thru the belt i.e. clipped on. Others dont want their stuff to touch the nast piss and other s*** present on the floor.

You dont take your gun out of the holster, at least I dont. If I'm wearing Jean's they are usually stiff enough to support the gun holster right where it is. If I'm wearing shorts that wont hold it upright or using a simple stow n go type holster it goes in the hammock holster n all. You're correct in n out of a holster in such situations only adds opportunity for an oh s*** discharge.

I understand where you guys are coming from. Before the changing stations came to be, I used the hammock technique or put the finger well on the hook behind the door. But now in today's world some of these stall manufacturers are putting aluminum trays and baby changing stations in stalls. So if they are available why not use them. That's a I'm asking.

Don't want it seen below the edge of the partition and nothing more.

I use the bathroom at home so I put mine on the nightstand beside the bed.
I can not remember the last time I used a public restroom.
