Embarassing moment but funny story

I thought the SS were Sig lovers?

Poor guy.

It could have been worse, it could have been the "football" sliding over...

That was a once in a life get out free card. That could have had catastrophic consequences.

The bathroom drill is to face away from the door and use the body as a visual shield. Unbuckle, unholster, hold gun, turn, sit, slide piece into pants leg, pull up to cover piece. Reverse when finished.

Even when carrying daily, I try and make the bathroom stop a "special" time, and not only treat my gun with special attention, but treat it as if firearms are something completely foreign to me - in other words, I'm slow and careful, and its presence burns in my mind while I'm doing my duty.

Plus, I'm sure not a small part of me is paranoid about something like this happening.

If there's nowhere to place my gun inside the stall, I will clip it to the inside of my shirt collar (provided it's not hot out, justifying short-sleeved shirts). I've thought about getting a lanyard for this coming summer, on which I can quickly connect the gun to my neck in such a situation and tuck it under my shirt (or what have you) to further conceal it. I really don't like the idea of having the gun at my feet when it's both the main place that people will be looking (to see if the stall is empty) and not entirely uncommon for muggers to grab the feet of a person in a stall, if the restroom is empty.

What?! The mere sight of a gun didn't drive you into an intense violent rage and make you pick it up and start shooting anything and anyone in sight, like the Brady bunch imply? But guns are evil!

No, but seriously I hope that SS agent realizes two things... that he's lucky nothing bad happened and that most of us can be trusted with firearms. I can't stand the police state mentality that seems to be ever increasing everywhere.

EEEEEWWWWWWHHHHHH How does one sterilize a weapon that has been slideing around the floor of a public restroom?

I hear a quiet curse and then a really embarassed voice saying "hey buddy, could you slide that back over here, it's okay I'm authorized to have it"

That was my first thought... I mean, forget about lead and copper fouling...

So what's best for removal of that kind of fouling? Hoppes, or CLP?

ROTLMAO!

Good one!

Good story.

If the guy hadn't shown any credentials, would that have made a difference?

You should have swapped it with yours and apologized for the confusion.

That's good

Thank goodness for Fobus holsters; they maintain a secure grip.

Jeez... When you drop trou.. pull the elastic waist band of your underwear up over the grip of the gun.. This keeps the gun in the holster and out of sight, and leaves both hands free.

If you don't drop your britches below your knees, the gun is readily available should you have unexpected guests.

" Slide what over there?"

Good story.

In DC it probably would. I only think cops, ambassadors and criminals carry guns in DC. You hand it back to a criminal and your prints are on the gun unless you wipe it off first.

Having had my wallet hop out and go "plop" in the bowl before, I'm always careful to turn my gun away from the toilet, hang on to it whilst lowering to contact, and hang on again on the way up.

Sorry buddy,finders keepers, and it seems to like me better anyway...
Then give it back after a dramatic pause...

Hmmm, you could have muttered something in your best faux-Arabic voice, then slide it further into your stall. For just a moment, then pass it back.

Then again, that might be the way to find out how fast an S. S. agent can draw his back-up gun.

Your fingerprints are now on the gun that will be used in the assasination.

Welcome to infamy, patsy.
