GOING TO THE RESTROOM

Use the stall. Sit down no matter No.1 or No.2 and right hand on gun/belt/pants. I never take my gun out of the holster in public unless I'm about to shoot someone.

To take a leak, assuming the fly option won't work, hanging the belt on the door hook or over your shoulder is about the best bet. Setting your firearm on the tank or paper dispenser is begging for you to forget it. Not as likely to forget your belt.

As for staying awhile and contemplating the bigger issues in life, as you drop your pants take your skivies down with them. Flip the top part of your drawers over the top of your firearm. The elastic will hold it in place.

Take care of your business, stand up, pull everything up together.

Alternatively, unholster your firearm and set it in the hammock your
drawers form.

Stalls are much preferred. It is a little harder to get to you, you are out of immediate view, and you have the ability to bar the door if needed.

Did I miss something?

Nope,lol, Just funny stuff! I have had more than one incident as a cop in the bathroom and it's normally the kind of thing you "Don't talk about". Thats why it's funny. I can see a whole class on this now, Class step to the urinal line, etc. LOL....

I usually just unzip and leave the pants buttoned at the urinal, in the stall I can remove holster and all and use the clip on the holster to secure it to the butt gasket dispenser or use one of the stalls with the baby changing deals in them to put all your stuff on.

What?

Nobody else draws, kicks in stall door and pies the stall to make sure it's empty?

It appears even fewer use a shoulder holster.

Understood.

I know that on another forum I frequent, this was a "urgent" topic one time.

I see your point from an instructor's point of view. Reminds of when I had to take all the boys in a Jr. High into a stall to educate them on the proper technique of flushing. Oh the joys of education now days.
