What do you do when nature calls?

[gearhead101]

A friend of mine posed a good question this weekend. If your carrying and have to use a public restroom, what do you do with your gun if its in a holster on your waist? And I'm talking a #2 lol.

Personally, I'd hold it if at all possible, otherwise I honestly don't know what I'd do.

Just make sure if you hold it... it's on safe...

Hammock method FTW

Here are a couple threads you should read on the subject.

Hammock and hover.

Leave it holstered. Re-buckle your lowered belt.

Have a monkey hold it

If you can find a 5 year old girl, let her hold it for you. Actually, I just leave it in the holster; it retains well enough, and if I have somebody perving under the door at me that much I'm glad I have it.

Wrap the end of your belt around and back through the first belt loop, holds it tight.

Brilliant! I always used the "hammock" method, LOL.

Thanks! I've been practicing "sit down to pee" methods for over 40 years...it finally paid off!

Whatever you do don't hold it between your cheeks!

I only deuce in female public bathrooms. I find they're less crowded, less unwanted noises, and more helpful stall-neighbors if I run out of TP. Having said that, I like to put pieces of paper on the walls and practice holster drills while taking aim at them. I make sure I drop the magazine so there's no possible way a round could still be in the gun. Then, when finished, I wash my hands, the gun, my hands again, pull up the pants, and exit. I get a lot of screams at the sink. It's like they've never seen a man wash a gun before.

Not a problem with appendix carry.

 

[NapalmFTW]

I only ever pee at public bathrooms...

 

[gearhead101]

I hate public bathrooms with a passion and only use them if I know I won't be home for awhile or its truly an emergency. Regardless, I think the hammock looks like the best option when you do have to go.

I like the idea about fastening the belt. I would hte to be the one (again) to leave my pistol in a stall and walk off.

On the other hand, I try not to use many public bathrooms. They are usually too dirty to leave anything on the floor, especially my weapon. If I am in a local setting, I will find one I can trust.

You sure that would get you into a crappy situation?
