Re: Public Restroom Question
I've been liking my shoulder rig. It eliminates this problem for one. Of course you have to be wearing a jacket but hey it's winter so you likely would be this time of year anyway. Or at the very least you wouldn't look out of place even if your sole purpose for wearing a jacket was to conceal.

Re: Public Restroom Question
First, I do my business at home. But when nature calls, the underwear method works for me. if your pants slide past your knees, the guy in the next stall wont see it, nor will anyone looking thru the cracks in the door/frame. I coulnt take the chance of leaving the CCW on the TP holder.barres wrote:One thing I've heard suggested (I've not tried it, myself) is to place your CCW in the "hammock" of your underwear. It will be hidden from view by anyone not in the stall with you. And, you're not going to forget it there!
keeping your legs stretched far enough where your pants wont fall past your knees works too. Done both.
Bottom line...Glock aint leaving my person.
Few years back, lost a cell phone on the TP holder.

Unless you have suddenly been struck by a nuclear stomach bug with no warning, then shame on you for needing to drop a #2 at Wal-Mart! (this opinion does no apply to employees who must spend all day there, unlike us CUSTOMERS)

Re: Public Restroom Question
So I take it that you've never needed to plan your every move away from home based on who has the cleanest restrooms, where they are, and how long to get to them?brewster wrote:Unless you have suddenly been struck by a nuclear stomach bug with no warning, then shame on you for needing to drop a #2 at Wal-Mart!

You have to plan your day around restroom availability?

That's not upset. That's every day for decades. Not being the type of thing you can normally talk about, I assumed it wasn't that abnormal.rm9792 wrote:You have to plan your day around restroom availability?

Re: Public Restroom Question
I know where I need to be at 9am every day. If it's not at home, then alternative arrangements are made. Those alternative arrangements never include Wal-Mart, gas stations, or rest areas. Reugularity is a wonderful thing.Mike1951 wrote:So I take it that you've never needed to plan your every move away from home based on who has the cleanest restrooms, where they are, and how long to get to them?

Seriously, the advice given above is good and applies to all of us eventually. I would say that I prefer the method of wrapping your peacemaker in the folds of your pants rather than setting it on the toilet paper holder. Not that it's likely that it would fall off or that you'd accidently forget it, but if you use the "wrap" method, you don't have to worry about either possibility.
Merry Christmas everyone!

I really not sure if my method only works for me because I'm large, but when lowering my pants, I rotate them 90 deg to the left so that the gun folds down into my pants between my legs.

Re: Public Restroom Question
Or you could start wearing Depends when you leave the house. Problem solved.
Re: Public Restroom Question
Good advice. Better yet, just stop eating and drinking. Simply live on meditation and range time...take the savings from buying Charmin and put it toward ammo.
