Quoted: Anywho, I was just wondering what you guys do in a public bathroom situation. I for one have to pull it from the holster and hold it under my arm pit while whizzing or it will pull my pants down.
This may sound silly, but it is a real question that I hope you guys can help with.

As I have stated on many CHL/CCW threads, IWB cross-draw front is easiest when dealing with bathroom visits.
I'm a bit confused over your problems with urinal and your pistol pulling your pants down, (as most of my pants have a zipper, which I use, thus pants generally stay up even while zipper is down), why not leave the top button or waist catch fastened, holding pants up and just use the zipper? (guess I could make a joke here about trouble finding what your looking for, and needing to drop trow to whiz, but I won't
)
I'll use the urinal right next to ya and you'll never know as the button on top of my jeans holds pistol snug in place and I have no trouble find my you-know-what. FWIW, removing the pistol in a public bathroom is not something I normally do as I prefer nobody know I'm carrying.
For stall etiquette:
With IWB cross-draw front, simply grab pants and holster, w/ left hand, (I'm right handed) un-button pants using right hand, lower pants, to lower thigh tucking IWB holster with weapon in it atop your left upper thigh, above the knee, sit down, spreading legs, which pulls tension on holster and will keep pistol from moving while your taking care of your business.
Should pistol for some reason fall out, it'll normally be caught by your jeans before it hits the floor, however mine never does as tension keeps it atop left thigh, even while wiping....
Feels a bit weird, explaining this, but hope it helps ya out. Nuthin is more embarrassing than having your pistol hit the floor in this situation, especially if someone's in the next stall......
