Possibly one of the funniest threads ever on the internet had to be. . . . . 22-25 years ago. One of the GT regulars back in the day left his Glock on the tank of a public toilet. LOL

Two interesting questions arise:

1) What is the "safe direction"? (Can't be the guy crapping next door)
2) If you drop your drawers, isn't your gun visible outside the stall?

 

[Drix]

We all joke about the government making a law to tell people which bath room to use, but apparently we need instruction on how to use it.

Seriously, this has never been a problem and I've shit in a public bathroom with a rifle.

 

[Toe Knee]

doing number 1=i jam it in my back pocket.
doing number 2=i hold it in my hand.

always use a stall.

edit=while it's in it's holster of course.

Do people really have this much trouble figuring out how to perform the most basic biological functions?

 

[yanici]

Can someone resurrect the post by member, underwhere? I don't know how to find it. It's the best on bathroom carry.

This one:

Comfort with concealed....

So i've had a LTC for a while. Been at the range a bunch of times. Im comfortable there. But just started carrying a.38 snubby in a pocket holster on a regular basis. How long does it take to get comfortable knowing it is there all the time? Everytime i get in the car, i'm always super...

Embarrassing gun owner moments

Recently I was travelling for work. I arrived at my destination airport, grabbed my luggage and headed off to the bathroom to load my gun and mags. I placed my luggage on the toilet seat and started loading my mags. A cartridge slips and begins to fall. In my mind I can picture the cartridge...

No. Jack.

If you know how to shit at home and have a problem doing it elsewhere you have other problems. Jack.

Not those, but they're good. There was one with stick figures showing how to poop when carrying. Piss your pants laughing.

 

[Amputee Marksman]

Never leave your gun in the head. Someone like Michael Corleone could come along, find it and kill some people.

Do you point it at the gap in the door like I do too?

Shoulder holster. Problem solved!

I see you do have the link here to the 2019 Michael Byrd Capitol Police incident. It is interesting how after the shooting the main stream media really didn’t want to talk about this. I am surprised Lester Holt even brought it up.

Capitol Officer Who Shot Ashli Babbitt Left His Gun In A Bathroom In 2019

Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police lieutenant who killed Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, left his gun unattended in a Capitol bathroom in 2019.

Don't be a butter-fingers...



Use the hook they provide...

 

[MaybeMe]

“Also, if you have to run, you must put your leg back into the pants, taking time.”

Says who? It may be easier to kick your pants off and engage pants-less. Element of surprise or something like that…

Two guns…

or, “guns.”

 

[Yosemite Sam]

This is why I wear my kilt !
and by the way taking one leg out of your pants doesn't sound like a good idea to me

 

[graphite]

This is 100% preventable.

Just do as I do and leave it with your trusty men's room attendant!

I find firing a few into the ceiling on my way in gives me the alone time I need

 

[MadatMarek]

Just get a colostomy bag it will be like carrying a gun and a grenade at all times. Either way it can turn out shitty for the other guy

 

[BigGreen2000]

I know at least a few times in Mass the local PD have left sidearms in the bathroom. Most recently Holyoke Mall?

 

[Fixxah]

When I shoot up I put my works on the changing table. Always dump your pins responsibly.

 

[mcshooter]

It's not that difficult. Leave the damn gun in the holster and take a leak





If you take it out your a f***ing idiot

 

[CRSIII]

Paging UnderWhere.

 

[Endangered]

My uncle worked for an armored car company. Left his sidearm on the back of the toilet in a bank. Got Fired.
