Seriously? That seems awfully hard to do quickly, or maybe I'm used to more spacious stalls.
In a public restroom with your CCW

Whenever I have to answer the call of nature at a public restroom, I utilize a simple procedure. I carry a glock 19 IWB (Blade-Tech) with two mags in Blade-Tech mag pouches (held with a Blackhawk! 1.75" belt). After selecting a suitable stall and locking the door, I unfasten belt/trousers and then refasten the belt in a lengthened position. The secret is to have a belt that is long enough to allow you to refasten it so that it makes an "unbroken circle" large enough to lower it past your hips. The velcro on the Blackhawk! belt works great for this, but leather belts can be used, as well. Next, lower the trousers/belt to mid-thigh, applying mild outward pressure with thighs to prevent the weight of the gun from automatically lowering trousers. I then lower underwear rolling said skivies outward so as to cover the grip and mags. I then lower trouser/firearm/underwear assembly to ankles and proceed with the task at hand. The underwear (boxer briefs work well) conceals the gun/mags. Mild outward pressure can be applied with the ankles to keep the gun/mags vertical. Personally, I think that removing the gun from your immediate person (whether in the holster or not) is a bad idea.
Some folks have irritable bowels. Unfortunately, mine are downright angry. As such, I have personally logged countless hours in restrooms throughout the south perfecting this technique.

Regarding dragging a person out of stalls (I presume women have the same issues), according to an article I read by Mas Ayoob awhile back about personal security tricks, some tend to "sprawl" when they sit down with their feet extended near the stall door. In such a position, they would be relatively easy to grab by the ankles and dragged under the door. Others (most?) keep their feet under them, close to the WC. In this posture, one's ankles would be almost impossible to reach.
I am having a hard time believing this thread, practical though it is.

Well, I'm kind of quirky about my bathroom habits. The noises the body makes mortify me. So, rather than worry about both defacatory noises and the presence of a handgun, I just use one to solve the other. Accordingly, whilst I am voiding mine bowels, I fire my ccw to cover the offensive sound of flatulence. Happily enough, the smell of cordite also masks any offensive odors.
Y'all are way too damn negative. Stop thinking of things as problems and start thinking of them as opportunities.

Yet another reason why I confine these activities to the comfort of my own home whenever possible.
