    This is a semi-serious question. I avoid public restrooms, but in the event that my plan to have Taco Bell for lunch sneaks up on me, what should the course of action be? There aren't a whole lot of places to actually rest your gun, and the ones that are available are not ideal. (I'm a little bit of a clean freak) Obviously, I dont want my carry weapon to be displayed in its holster beneath the stall.

    Drop trousers, draw weapon from holster, unload, put rounds in pants pocket, verify empty chamber and mag well, use toilet paper to wipe down barrel and clean any dirt/dust.

    If bathroom is not empty after cycling the slide a few times, start chanting anything that sounds like islamic jibberish....finish #2 in peace.

    If wearing tightey whiteys you can use the underwear hammock technique!
    I remove my holster then button my jeans at my knees and clip my holster to the front of my jeans.

    After lowering pants enough to sit, I re-buckle my belt to keep the holster upright.

    Sounds like a job for all the great minds of Bayou Shooter to come together and invent a TDS (tactical dump solution). I have seen Glocks disguised to look like red soso cups and even a Tactical Toilet Plunger. Even a crappy idea would be worth hearing.:chuckles:

    Don't bash my serious question but,why not just leave it in your holster on your belt? My crossbreed and my disantis keep it hanging just fine.


    Because the weight can make your pants drop to the floor.
    Before I lost all my guns when my houseboat sank, I did my best not to use public facilities, but if I had to I would either put my pistol in my front pocket or on top of the toilet paper dispenser.

    I don't care what anyone elses opinion is, if no room on top of the plasticy-square TP holder, I drop drawers and lay gun in holster in "the basket" made from my pants being down. when finished, stand up, re-dress, re-holster. done.

    edit: first sentence because last time I posted this I got called "disgusting". Yeah, then don't lick my holster. problem solved.

    Every time you handle your weapon you induce risk and invite complacency by including it into a daily routine operation to the point it's mundane. I don't mean this in an extreme way... just a thought/belief that I try to avoid.

    Anyways, when I sit down to ****, I leave it in the holster, and just keep my pants around knee-level. Push your knees out a bit, it's not difficult.

    Worst case scenario is that I take the whole assembly off my pants. I have clips that can be taken off the belt without un-threading my belt. So I'll rest the holster, with the gun still safely inside, on the shelf or paper-towel holder, if it's stable enough, sometimes. If nothing... I remove holster-and-gun and place between feet in my dropped-on-flour trousers. I rarely resort to that.

    However I do not like the idea of racking a gun in a stall. That's a noise no one wants to hear in that situation, and if you do it quietly, you risk not closely fully on the chambered round when you reload. /shrug

    Guys your all doing it wrong if it's a glock and I would hope so...just throw it in the toilet take a dump rinse it off with the flush and reholster. It's a glock and can still shoot with a little **** in it...
