12many: "You all crack me up."

I'm imagining a parody of the classic scene from Puzo's Godfather novel, where Michael Corleone takes the gun hidden behind the restaurant toilet tank and assassinates Solozzo and the police Captain. In my version, Michael, white with rage at an FTF (Failure to Flush) takes a gun off the Captain and whacks the john.
 
ive thought about this. when i do get my ccw, my plan is based on my granpa's. i go in to drop some kids off at the pool, will place the gun in the sink. so when i go to wash my hands (i always do) ill notice the gun in the sink and remember to reholster it. thats my plan for one person bathrooms though, i do not know about multi person bathrooms.
 
Maybe he thought he was hunting small game, and just trying to flush something out.
 
I've never seen what the big deal about hitting the little boys' room is. Maybe it's just a matter of having decent holsters, but I've made numerous Super Bowl trips whilst armed in my time, and never have I done anything special with my sidearm. I just leave it in the holster, and spread my feet as necessary to keep some tension on the waistband.
 
Torghn, I tend to agree with you. He almost shot himself in the ego and had to come up with a convincing lie rather than say he had nothing more to play with in the stall than his pistol.

Still laughing about the "head shot" remark. Good one!
 
I'm smelling a situation with a guy who has his heart all aflutter after finally getting his CCW, wants to check it, but can't do it in the open, so he goes to the men's room to check the chamber for the fifth time since he left home. Loads it, unloads it, pulls the mag in and out a couple of times, pointing it at the toilet, thinking to himself; "You know, it would really, really suck if right now I lost track of what I was BANG!!......oh crap. What's less embarrasing than playing with your gun in a public restroom and having it go off? I GOT IT!! I'll say it slipped off my belt and......just went off. they'll buy that right? At least they can't prove it's not true. Hope everyone is ok."

And yes, it's a good thing it was in Utah and no one got hurt.
 
I'll bet he was standing in front of the toilet with his back to the toilet and about to drop his pants (at this point the gun was probably pointing toward the toilet assuming he carries at about 3:30 to 4:30)

Since he did not have a good holster that unsnaps from his belt, he had to un-holster, at which time he accidentally pulled the trigger..Bang, round hits the head.

Is this a SHTF scenario?

More like a SHTT scenario?
 
Some good funnies in this thread! I think this is about as spicy as they let you get around here... :D

Which is fine with me, BTW. It's called THR for a reason.



It's hard to break that reflex to catch a dropping handgun. You have to fight it... but there's a lot at stake. I am thinking that's what happened here.
 
Humor aside, when I carry on the waist, it's in a thumb break holster that will not allow the gun to slide out of the holster if it were to tip, and it's on a stiff Beltman belt that keeps the gun pointed down and nearly impossible to tip.

The belt is stiff enough that you can keep the gun above the bottom of the partition quite easily and still allows you to - er - function properly.

Yep, semi-auto. Kahrs, Glocks...not safe if you drop 'em. A modern revolver has a transfer bar that prevents that from happening. That's why I carry a wheelgun.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
 
that sucks alot but if you think about it it is abound to happen sooner or later and it could have been alot worse than just a toilet and possible loss of a pistol

but you have to thin atleast it didnt shoot into the other stall where others could have been wounded and it didnt injur him seriously


it sucks but could be worse

BTW, the only time I've ever dropped my gun, a Kahr K9, was in a situation very much like this. No it didn't "go off." But when that sucker hit the tile, let me tell you, the racket had to have been audible in the small burger joint I was in. Needless to say... lesson learned.
 
Enough toilet humor. I think the guy probably had his brain picker on the trigger when he was moving the gun and wammo. There's not a picture that shows clearly which way the bullet traveled. I think it went from inside the bowl through the front.

I have seen people holstering a gun with finger on the trigger and blow a hole in the ground inches from their toes.
