Using the toilet: Last but not least, even though there may not be a rest room at the range, the question is often asked, "How do I use a toilet when I am wearing a gun?" The best technique we have is this:
Once you are inside the rest room, stand facing away from the toilet and remove your gun from the holster. Keep your finger off the trigger and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Lay the gun and any spare magazines or speed loaders on the tank or somewhere where they will not be visible from the outside and will not fall into the pot. Once your pants are down, place the gun between your feet, pointed away from you. When you are finished, pick up your gun and accessories and set them on the tank or somewhere where they will not be visible from the outside and will not fall into the pot. Tuck in your shirt and buckle your belt. Then, pick the gun up. Keep your finger off the trigger and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Perform a chamber check, then replace the gun in your holster. Replace the spare magazines or speed loaders in the appropriate carriers.
