How do you poo?

[Steve_NEPhila]

Whatever you do, do not unholster it and play with it. Seriously, unholstering your weapon and holding it or laying it in your undies or whatever is poor weapon handling. Leave it in the damn holster.

Public restroom or at home is the same.

Loosen belt rather than completely open.
Drop pants to knees.
Sit.
Spread knees to hip witdth placing tension on belt.
Holster is held in place along the thigh.

With my luck if I'm ever the victim of a home invasion it'll be while im recylcing last nights dinner and even though I'll be literally caught with my pants down it won't be with my firearm on the floor or tank behind me.

I use a paddle holster and it stays attached enough so I don't have to unholster.

I just can't go without my ashtray, cocktail of choice and my collection of Combat Handguns!! It's a ritual to me! or maybe its the just the port-a-potties that are on the job sites

Don't pull your pants down all the way. Pull them only to your knee's, then part your knee's until the pants are taught enough that they won't fall to the ground.

Just make sure there isn't shit on the front of the toilet bowl, or it will look like you've shit yourself. Also, make sure there is no piss/shit on the ground where your pants would normally lay. People are disgusting.

Ahh, I see. A wide stance to keep your pants off the floor you say?

Use a narrow stance. And no toe tapping.

Sometimes I smash my head against the divider wall and thrash my genitals around in the toilet water like I'm a great white shark.

Seriously folks, Shoulder holsters!!!!

Also, during the police academy, we were actually taught to remove sidearm from holster, place into your underwear/slacks until mission complete. Just saying!!!

Egads...

Somehow, I just didn't expect the number of 'serious' responses to this thread.

Personally, I've always looked at "restroom time" as a very personal, private thing.

I mean, you might as well ask me if I ever masturbate ...and, if I do, what I think about when I do it.

I realize there are some really open "exhibitionist" types who love to talk about these sorts of things, but... well, I'm the type who prefers a stall rather than the urinals whether I am armed or not.

Though I am pretty confused as to the possible reasons why, I know that lots of guys just *love* using crowded urinals - especially the ones with short, or no, partitions, and especially at popular sporting events or auditorium performances.

I first encountered this, ahem, 'situation', back when I was working for an armored truck outfit. On the road for twelve (or more) hour shifts, it's bound to happen that you'll need the 'facilities' while out in public eventually. A full 'duty belt' (triple D-cell Maglite and all) wouldn't be much fun to 'juggle' in a cramped stall - let alone at a crowded urinal.

My solution was (still is, even without the duty belt) to find 'single occupant' restrooms. Dunkin Donuts shops are well known for these and they are usually kept pretty clean. Plus - there's no chance of people (with bad intentions) following you in unobserved.
