No seriously...this morning after our jog, my neighbor (who works for the Rockwall SO) and I went into McDonalds for some breakfast. (real healthy I know ) We both went into the bathroom, I needed to wash my hands and he had some "duty" he needed to take care of. Right after turning on the water to wash my hands I heard a THUNK...CLANK...SPLASH... When I asked what had happened he replied..."I just dropped my glock in the toliet."

He had it positioned at about 5oclock in the waistband of his running shorts and under armor shorts. (Spandex shorts he had on under his running shorts) and apparently carrying a glock 23 in this manner is so comfortable he forgot it was there??

When he asked me if I was going to tell anyone I replied..."No..I am going to tell EVERYONE!"

Which leads me to a question...What to do with your weapon in a public bathroom if you have "Duty" (or doodie ) to do?
(Edited to note I just found the other topics on bathroom procedures, but it's still a pretty funny story!)

I think Limalife has a good video on that.

Use "Common Sense"...

Well the good thing is since its a Glock you can be rest assured it'll fire even if covered in "doodie".

Thanks for the story,

long, but informative

The easiest solution is to not handle your "duty" in a public restroom, unless it is a dire emergency. The 1 time I had a dire emergency, thankfully it was a single restroom with a locking door. I just put it on the sink and went about my business. Otherwise, I would think either temporarily putting it in your pocket, or setting it somewhere in the stall, would be the best solution. Though admittedly, that would require remembering it is there in the first place. Mine is always in a holster with fairly good retention (I wear my supertuck when I run), so even if I did forget it was there, I dont think it would fall out. if it's not in the holster, I'm pocket carrying the PF9.

The last time I did was in 1995...and that was only because it was "urgent".

I mix Fiber One cereal and Wheaties cereal together for breakfast almost every morning.

Not my area to moderate but a plea & friendly reminder

In the past every bathroom thread that has been started has moved to inuendo & jokes pretty fast.
They have all had to be locked.

lots of them seem to have a shelf or the top of the TP holders are shelves .. I'll put mine there. or else keep my weapon/holster pulled up high enough it can't be seen from the view under the door / stalls

I eat a bowl of fiber one cereal (the original, not the sweet flavored junk) with 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds for breakfast every morning. Coupled with my one morning cup of coffee, I'm quite a "regular guy", if you know what I mean.

Are we really discussing fiber diets and bowel movements on a public forum that is not medically related?

Buy some adult diapers and you'll never have to worry about stopping to go #1 or #2.
