I carry on the right side. When I...."sit", I pull my left pantleg out and put the barrel down the rest of my pantleg by my boot, magazine pointing straight towards my right leg.
Keeps it oriented upright, and ready to deploy with my right hand if needed. Also keeps it from flopping around in the grundies..... |

If available, simply put the primary (the backup stays in the ankle holster, though it is darn near out of action with the pants down,) on the tank of the toilet or other immediately available flat surface. If one is not available, the weapon can either stay in the holster with the belt re-fastened below the knees, or it can just stay in my hand for the duration of the visit.
And for those who laugh this sort of thing off, or who never use public restrooms for #2, all I can say is "good on ya," as I used to be the same way before IBS, which has a way of changing one's outlook on public restroom use pretty sharpish. |

I would always shy away from setting my pistol anywhere but my holster. Murphy would show his face eventually, and your smoke stick will be sold for drugs, and you won't have it when you go to the gas station later that day, and someone decides to get stupid.
My opinion Go at home whenever possible. |

Set it on the TP dispenser. I carry AIWB so it's highly unlikely that I will forget to grab it, given that I have to look at my belt buckle area when I'm done.

depends on the scenario. In my office I have a one holer. So, I take it off (leaving it in the holster) and put it on the sink that is right next to me. You could do the same thing with the back of the toilet. Otherwise, I hold the holster in one of my hands until I am done and then I put it back on. To me, the top of the toilet paper dispenser is frequently too small or slick and I don't generally need more than one hand to do my business.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't see the problem. I leave mine in the holster, hanging off the belt right where it normally is, with no issues whatsoever.
I use a Supertuck, carried around 3:00-3:30. Is there some other holster or carry position that is creating this problem, or is there some other potential issue that I'm not aware of? |

Anyone have any funny stories of doing just that? I'm not trying to make poop thread as I am asking a serious question and this a serious concern of mine. I fold the gun into my pants while they lay around my ankles, and drop my underwear over it. That way, even if someone were to peek in, they couldn't see it. |

We had a thread about this not long ago.
Whatever you do - DO NOT SET THE GUN DOWN - keep it on your person. You will eventually leave it in a bathroom somewhere. |

There was a thread on Indiana Gun Owners.com a couple months back about an Indiana State cop (off duty) leaving his off-duty carry gun in the bathroom of a Home Depot. Came back for it a little while later. That story prompted me to never let it off my person. |

Another
 for the underwear hammock idea. I strongly recommend that you figure out a way to not remove the firearm from the holster. It's incredibly easy, as others (in my opinion, the more responsible ones) have said. MTAC, Duty holster, whatever, it has never been a problem for me. |

Good belt and good holster. I buckle my belt back once below my knees. Not only does this keep me from laying it somewhere and forgetting it, but also keeps it in a position to be placed into action if need me.

The gun stays in the holster, the holster stays on the belt and I rebuckle the belt after my pants are down. If it's a busy bathroom and I'm worried about someone seeing it, I'll take a dark blue bandanna out of my pocket and cover it. Since I only use quality holsters with good retention and solid belt loops I don't worry about the gun falling out or the holster falling off the belt.

When I used to be an instructor, one of the students went to the public men's room in the gun shop and put his Beretta 92 on the back of the toilet. It couldn't have been more than 3-4 minutes later when he realized his mistake and went back to find the pistol GONE.

Don't put it on the tank lid behind you or you may get distracted and forget it, specially if you aren't the type to check out your handy work when you are done.
What I like to do is get a papertowel, set the gun on it right in front of me on the floor and then fold extra length over the top of the gun so oneone can see the gun. That way it won't fall or it wont' leave my FOV. Don't strain while holding your gun, you might have a ND from a involuntary grasping motion

Almost a poop thread
.
I usually leave it in the holster, still on my belt (G26 / VM2) and it stays just fine. A few times I have removed the entire holster to avoid having in hang down under the stall wall being possibly visible and held it in my hand on top of my leg. If I'm pocket carrying the J-Frame I just hold it in my hand in it's Nemesis holster. I have never set my weapon down - in or out of a holster - in a restroom that wasn't mine; and I never will  .

Don't take the gun out of the holster. Get a good stiff belt and a good holster and it stays on the side where it should be.

If possible, I try to use the crapper that is up against the right wall. In that case, my leg, foot and pants block it from being seen. Otherwise I use the banana hammock. It stays in the holster.
