Oddly enough this topic was covered in the police academy I attended 31 years ago. There were two answers.

Option 1 - If possible, select the stall at the end of the row so that your gun side is close to the wall. No risk of someone reaching under and grabbing your gun, and you can leave it in your holster attached to the belt.

Option 2 - Place youir weapon in the crotch of your pants (which one assumes are down around your feet). Your weapon is right in front of you if needed, and no one is going to be able to grab it under the stall wall.

If you're wearing a removable holster (paddle or removable IWB), then put the entire holster and gun in the crotch of your pants.

I do one of two things, depending on the facilities - I either let the weapon fold over inside my waistband (after I drop my pants), or I unholster and lay the weapon on the toilet tank lid or on the paper holder.

I do the first on you mentioned. The problem with the bathroom here at my office building is that that the way it is set up, your right side is facing the other stalls, urinals and the door. So the folding over towards the center works best for me, I can also practice my draws from my drawers.

The back of the tank lid is the preferred spot of some of Memphis's finest. IIRC there have been maybe 2 events of left guns on the back of toliet seats in Memphis. I would look and search, but I don't want to. :eek:
