CCW and Restrooms

Oh, skeeter, I don't have any money left for that Florida water front property. I got a hot tip, and I'm investing everything in ocean property in Yuma, AZ. ;) ;)

Yeah, maybe we can get together someday. Take care.

Fellas, I can't believe this problem is just occuring to some of y'all. For us ladies, this has been a tough question. And we don't have to worry about it for just the occational, can't wait, #2, we have this problem each time we enter the restroom. For reasons I won't even get into, dropping it into the crotch of our undies is out of the question, at least at certain times. Placing it in our purse as we do business is also not smart since it can be seen sticking out of there while on the floor of the toilet (NEVER place purses on hooks either.) Shoulder holsters aren't always practical and usually give me a backache. Thunderware only makes my mid section look larger. Not an option! It can also make you look like you entered the wrong restroom, if you get my drift.

I've always said that anyone who creates a holster that a woman can use even when in the restroom will make big bucks. Come on guys, y'all are bright, invent something! :D
 
That waistpack I carry some of you call a purse(or worse). It gets clipped over the grab rail in a handicapped stall and placed on the tank top in a regular stall. Very innocuous to a bystander at the urinal. :)
 
Unfasten your trousers, lower what has to be lowered and rebuckle your belt with the buckle tongue in the first hole, take care of business (spreading your knees apart will hold your trousers off the floor), rearrange your trousers etc, rebuckle the belt tight and away you go. If you have a quality holster there should be no problem of the pistol falling out while you are occupied, as it were.

Do not unholster your pistol and hang it on the coat hook. Story in point. P/O armed with a 1911A1, enters stall, hangs said 1911 on the coat hook and by accident disengages the thumb safety. After taking of whatever he had entered the stall to do, he grasps the 1911 and lifts upward, the thumb safety was not engaged and now the grip safety is depressed, trigger hits hook, very loud noise, P/O jerks back and the trigger returns to the forward position, another upward lift and a second very loud noise. This occures for a couple more times (he being a slow learner and still somewhat surprised) until he just lets the pistol hang
and very carefully starts over.

Kids, don't try to do this at home. (or anywhere else) :D

I always drop the gun into the crotch of my underwear/pants.

I have never had a problem with this method of concealment when using a public restroom.

As for women, I think they might be able to hide a handgun in their bra while they use a toilet. Of course this depends on the size of the handgun or the size of the bra. :)
 
I used to use the handicap when I could. Mainly because I find regular stalls too small. You should know however, that handicap stalls should be left to the handicap. A guy in a wheelchair got pissed at me once after I came out, and explained that because of a condition paralyzed people in wheelchairs have, they can die if they do not have immediate access to a toilet. I thought he was BS'ing me until I saw a 20/20 report on it not too long ago.

In lieu of this, I'm sure you could hang your holster on the coat rack found inside many stalls. Or maybe you could just hold it. You know, fondle your piece ;)
 
I start by drawing my G26, Place it in my right front pocket & carry on as normal. I never really thought about it, this isn't exactly rocket science :)
