Public restrooms - Page 3

Timely anecdote: I was booking in some evidence yesterday afternoon when a patrol officer showed up with a holstered pistol that had been left on top of the toilet tank in one of the mens' room stalls at one of our local fast food establishments.

If you just carry one of these around with you,

and press the button each time you hear someone come in the door.

No one will dare go near the stall you are in.

I remove my pistol from the holster and set in in my drawers. Very vunerable position to be in.

In the crotch of my pants at public restroom.

At home, it sits on its sights with the grip vertical. I don't have to go near the trigger to pick it up and it is quick to grip. (G27 and Rhino same way)

I use a Remora no-clip holster and lay it in the top of my pants/shorts so I can't get up and walk out without putting it back in place.

I slip off a shoe, pull my leg out of my pants and pick the whole works up onto my lap. I do what I have to do with my free hand and reverse the process when I'm done. This method has worked really well for me.

(Just make sure you don't have that really cheap and rather thin toilet paper. That's all I'm gonna say...

Funny, I just re-read a lot of the Mall Ninja's posts yesterday on a website. Where'd he go? The mall isn't safe without him.

Wear a shoulder holster. The handgun will be above it all.

Maybe the TP dispenser box is flat enough for setting the gun on top . . . .

I've used public restrooms for #2 twice in my lifetime. That was two times too many. And, yes, I'm the guy who has sanitizing wipes in my glove box.

I really try to avoid that situation. I have done it though. I take weapon out and hopefully there is toilet rack or something to set it on.

I know of an officer who was assigned to a medical escort detail at a large university hospital to remain nameless. This officer, along with two others, were to provide security for an inmate who was admitted. Per policy two of the officers were armed, the third was not because his job was to handle the inmate and all of the restraints, therefor keeping guns far out of reach of the inmate at all times. One of the armed officers went to the restroom there in the private hospital room, took his duty belt (w/gun, magazines/ etc. ) off and did his business. The officer then left the restroom and went to have a seat in the hospital room with the inmate and other officers. A short time later a nurse came in to the room, checked the inmate, and took the urinal into the bathroom to dump it out. She came back out of the bathroom holding up a duty belt (w/gun, magazines, etc.) in her hand and asked "Does this belong to any of you?!" The inmate laughes histarically, and the officer who left it there has to ask the nurse if he may have his gun back. This is a true story, and a perfect example of WHAT NOT TO DO with your gun when you use a restroom.

This "tactical defecation" thread needs a sticky.
