Anyone carry in the restroom?

[Guest Grout]

I thought I would ask what with all the other "do you carry" questions here.

[PackinMama]

I carry 24/7

[Guest db99wj]

Yes.

[Guest Revelator]

Yup.

Y'all may have seen this story a few weeks ago out of Memphis:

Edit- well dang, Double After Split posted a better version of this at the same time I posted ---see above post!

There was an incident a few weeks ago where a Shelby County deputy left her pistol in the women's room at a courthouse or something-- don't remember exactly. They recovered the weapon- she got a letter in her file or something like that.

Heard a story a few weeks ago from a Memphis City LEO and he got called to a quick stop for a "gun found" call. Got their, it was an XD. He got it, ran the numbers, not reported stolen or anything and he was processing it, doing the paperwork off to the side of the store. A guy walks in, goes straight to the bathroom, comes out, pale and with a Oh sh#$ look on his face, walks up to the cop and says I lost my gun. The cop had moved it so that he could not see it. He went through some questioning and asked what it was, he said an XD. So he continued on checking everything. Gave him a lecture, gave him his gun and sent him on his way.

This event happened around the time of the cop in the restroom, we were talking about that when he brought that up.

I heard a Massad Ayoob story of a cop who hung his Glock on the coat hook.When he grabbed it his hand moved up and pushed the trigger against the hook,it fired several rds before jamming.

Yeah I jumped right on it. It's amazing how fast you can find stuff on Google.

[Guest Boomhower]

[strickj]

[Guest jackdog]

[Rightwinger]

I figured with all these nosey ass questions everybody was posting this would fit right in.

[KahrMan]

Like most office buildings, all the suites in my building use a common restroom. The stall walls dont go all the way to the floor. So for major transactions I have to unclip my IWB and put it on top of the toilet paper holder. I have not forgotten it, at least not yet.

[Guest TNDixieGirl]

omg not ANOTHER "do you carry *insert favorite place here*" question!!!

My Dr. Seuss style answer:

Yes, I carry in my car,

I do not carry in a bar.

I do carry on a train,

I do not carry on a plane.

I do carry in my house,

For I might have to shoot a mouse.

I do not carry if against the rules,

So I do not carry when at school.

I do carry when at work, in my church and when I pee,

There I've told you, now leave me be.

[KahrMan]

TnDixieGirl, are you carrying when you snow or water ski? If you answer water skiing, then i am guessing ankle holster?

[Guest TNDixieGirl]

Good question Kahrman, let me make one small edit to my li'l rhyme.

I never did snow ski, and I haven't done it on the water in 20+ years. So I need to make it more honest!

EDIT: Ok, I fixed it.

can't believe the jokes aren't more on this one. Just reading the post title made me !

So to answer the question....why yes I do. Have since I was about 2!

[shaftbass]

Nah. The smell and sounds eminating from the dungeon I am obliterating should keep 'em at bay.

[Guest DrBoomBoom]

When I go to the restroom, it's strapped securely in my pants. Then I take it out, hold it while I do my business, once again carefully secure it in my pants and leave.

So, like, does anyone carry in a HOLSTER?!?

...Sorry, this type of thread just invites another smarta$$ response...

I think he was referring to your handgun.

I dont in my own house, unless it's just the 642 Smith in my pocket and I havent taken it out yet. In a public rest room obviously so (what else are you gonna do with it??).

One issue is that a holstered gun has a tendency to fall out when you let go of your belt.

One technique I heard for sitting on the crapper is to put the gun on top of your underwear between your knees (is this graphic enough for everyone? Do you want pics?). THis way the gun is ready to hand and you arent likely to walk off without it.

Lets hope he dont have a video demonstration:panic:
