Here is a good article at Shooting Illustrated on how to handle the issue of what to do with your firearm when you have to use the stall in a public restroom. The two main problems that people have in the restroom have to do with removing the handgun from its holster and (discussed in this article) leaving the handgun behind or falling to the floor, or (not discussed in this article) accidently triggering the firearm.
The author's solution is to lower his trousers to just below his knee and then rebuckle his belt so the trousers do not fall to the floor. Obviously, the firearm remains in its holster the whole time.

And I have some thoughts on the matter in my post, "Number 2: Carrying a Handgun While Using the Toilet."
just place the pistol in between your legs on top of your underwear.
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be a popular option from what I hear and read. The common counter argument to it, though, is that it involves increased handling of the firearm with a corresponding increase in the risk of a mishap.
