Toilet tip for for newer CCW guys
When doing the sit-down in a public restroom, I want to make sure concealed stays concealed. No worries if you pocket carry, but not the case for the rest of us. I read about this tip sometime back, and it's worked great for me for years.
After unbuckling and before lowering pants all the way, take the waistband of underwear and pull it up, then over and down and over the gun, then when you lower all the way, it's not visible to nosey or freaky folks looking down there. Comando or G string guys need a better solution, but works great for me with boxer briefs. Sorry if this is common knowledge, you're welcome if its not. |

Good tip...
I carry a collapsible backpack with me when I'm out. I can unload and store my gear in the pack while I do my business. ( I'm not a G-string guy, but I guess this work work for them. ) https://www.amazon.com/Oakley-Packab...1MRCHQZS<br /> |

I suggest the first thing you do is close the toilet seat. Way to many people dropped their CCW into the toilet.
That being said since I use a QuikClip https://www.crossbreedholsters.com/h...b-holster.html Holster I can easily unclip holster with gun in it and there is almost always somewhere in the john I can place it while I take care of business. Keeps handgun accessible so I'm not caught with my pants down (figuratively) No worry of it being seed or falling out of holster while I have my pants down (literally) Just make sure you don't forget it in the John.

I carry appendix, I place my weapon in the crotch of my dropped pants. Unless someone looks over the top of the stall they are not seeing the weapon and I can get to it if someone kicks in the stall door.

Why? The premise of this thread has nothing to do with carrying a gun for self-defense. It’s about dealing with the OP’s paranoia that someone might look under his stall door while he’s sitting on the toilet in a public restroom and finding out that he’s carrying a gun for self-defense.

Yes, this is one option. But, many times thieves "work" restrooms by reaching over the door while you are occupied, as many people will hang their jackets or man purses on those hooks. Especially at travel/event locations where there are lots of activity. It is a form of pick pocketing.

Dropping a Handgun in a Chemical Toilet is the wrong way to go about Bluing it.

Stop pushing your pants down to your ankles. Keep them up at your knees and your hip holster and gun won't be visible below the stall walls.
You might need to keep your knees out a little wider than normal to keep them up, or if you pull your feet back just a bit the waist/belt is also resting on your calves (if you aren't real skinny that is) |

I hate public sheeters.
However, if I need to drop a 2 I put my g26 under my off hand arm pit and keep it there until launch is complete. Always kept in my personal control. I've been doing it that way since I started carrying in the mid 80's. No matter the size gun, it works 100%. *I also use 3 azz gaskets on the seat prior to launch, so... safety first. Some people are filthy animals and really poor shots. Sent using a long string and 2 used soup cans

One can always squat, common in certain areas of Asia:
But of course, there are other risks associated with that approach:

Say it with me now - "Shoulder Holster" is the way to carry, if you are afraid of dropping your piece while using the toilet...

Don't know what all you guys are missing. If I need to be in this situation in public, I'm breaking out the cleaning kit and using the time to my advantage.
Although, I do get odd looks from people wondering why the restroom smells of Hoppe's. |

Exactly. Hasn't everyone seen in the movies where they kick open the stall door? Can never be too careful.

If wearing only a T-Shirt then they should use a fanny pack, or a man purse (murse) to hold their CCW Weapon, if they cant retain their IWB Holstered firearm while on the throne...
In the summertime here on the North Coast, I tend to wear baggy Hawaiian shirts, so a shoulder holster works for me that way. I am surprised that no one has suggested an ankle holster for the OP's using a public toilet and retaining their weapon issues!

Or use the time to cycle your rounds and practice clearing malfunctions. break wind to cover the sound of racking the slide.
