View Full Version : Peeing in a public bathroom with CCW
I've had some awkward situations at the urinal where my CCW is trying to pull down my pants. I hate struggling to keep the thing hidden all while trying to keep everything aimed properly. Sometimes I'm tempted to just take the pistol off my belt and just put it on the back of the urinal. I've never done this and always choose the wiggle and dance to keep everything in place. Never had things go all that bad but I can see it happening eventually. I carry between 6 and 4 o'clock. What's the solution here? Is the stall the only option?
while that does solve the problem, that isn't happening
[ROFL2]
Depends.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Well played.
I used to undo my belt at the urinal my entire life, until I started carrying. Don't undo your belt and it shouldn't be an issue. I recently bought super cheap boxer briefs online and when they were delivered I found that they have no pee hole. Since I drive around all day, I have to pee NOW every time I use the bathroom, which is ALWAYS public. Even though I'm dancing around while trying to fish through layers of tucked in shirt, cheap underwear, tucked in undershirt, and trying to sort everything out while muttering, "Oh Jesus Oh Jesus Oh Jesus," I still don't undo my belt.
Take a wide stance.Use the stall.Practice at home.
Wait, what? Are you talking about urinating?
While standing?
At what point does releasing the tension of your belt play into this? Enquiring minds want to know?

Don't undo the belt! So simple but it never occurred to me.

Um yea, while standing you only have one hand to hold the belt. For me the second I undo the zipper things get unruly. My pistol will take all the slack in the belt and well at that point it's a struggle.

Either I'm missing the joke/inuendo, or I still don't get why you have to relase your belt to drop your zipper.
Maybe you need to look into suspenders.

Eh, I just use a stall, cop a squat, take a break and surf gun forums on my phone for a bit. You'll get old someday too.....
A stiff belt and a stiff holster with at least two attachment points will help. You can also hold the belt a bit tight with whichever hand is free. The deeper the holster rides, the more stability you'll have, but sometimes it just doesn't matter and stuff is falling all over the place. If you're wearing anything less than a stiff, quality belt, none of the other variables matter. If you're serious about carrying and do not have a nice belt, get one and you'll thank yourself three times a day until you don't even notice anymore.

Seriously I'm not joking at all. Force of habit I guess. It seriously never dawned on my to just leave the belt buckled. Honestly it sounds uncomfortable but better than the alternative in this case.

You get used to it inside of a week.
Fair enough. I wasn't trying to be condescending, I honestly wasn't tracking.
In your situation, and I'm serious, maybe some Y suspended might help.
I have the same issue when sitting in a public restroom sometimes. Can't let it fall to the floor, no place to unholster, etc....

I'm not going the suspender path at all :)

I've never understood why people felt the need to undo their belt and open their pants all the way up to pee. Unzipping has always been sufficient for me. Maybe I'm just lucky. Or maybe not. [Shock]

Pants pulled down so belt is at mid calf. Holster pinned between belt and calf. If a flimsy and easily removable holster is worn, it can be removed and hammocked in the crotch of the underwear if there is a concern that the holster will 1) rotate and dump the gun onto the floor, 2) be seen from under the stall, 3) flop around and bang on the bowl of the toilet when standing up.

Some people perhaps have other agendas when using a public rest room.
60yrs of age and still don't understand the OP's issue. UNZIP that metallic thing in front of your pants, reach in pull (or in my case) uncoil step back, pee. Done, wrap back up, zipper in up position, wash hands, leave.
while that does solve the problem, that isn't happening

Unfortunately, my local UPS driver looks nothing like this.
This thread was pretty funny. I have been laughing pretty hard for a few minutes now. Hell, the wife even figured this out right away after curiosity overcame her on why I was laughing. She said, "why doesn't he just unzip? Should he be carrying a gun?"

There's always That Guy at a urinalysis that has to drop his pants entirely at the urinal.

I don't know how old you are, but you need to get over your shyness, size doesn't matter. Maybe stop using the urinal and stick with a stall if you feel the need to "keep the thing hidden".

I had to start using the shorter stand up because the water in the normal size one was just too cold [Coffee]
Just start using the ladies bathroom and the urinal issue becomes moot. :D
Personally I use a stall or keep the belt buckled if at a urinal.
Just start using the castle bathroom and the urinal issue becomes moat.

Never use a urinal in a public bathroom, carrying or not.
I can't think of a more vulnerable position to be in on any sort of a regular basis - pants open, tackle out, and strangers walking up behind you.
Stalls are a simple solution.

I just pull out the whole holster, turn around and ask the guy standing next to me "can you hold this for me?".
Kinda odd, but they usually won't even look at me. Then I just say "I just don't want it to go off if I drop it.".
After much consideration I have decided the zipper option is not valid at all. How on earth do you risk this type of personal injury?

I've only ever heard of kids undoing their belts to take a leak. No offense intended. This issue is just new to me.
I don't see a solution to the problem other than to stay buckled.

You don't notice because when you aren't wearing a gun, your pants aren't falling off. Undoing belt isn't uncommon and it gives you a chance to re-set your clothes through out the day if you need.

Hmph. Try maneuvering in a stall so small you practically have to back in, undoing your belt and trying to retain your holstered weapon, your pants, AND a purse at the same time. When you're able to do that dance without anything hitting the floor, we'll talk.

Exactly. Some of you must be walking around with unsat gig lines all day.

I was thinking about this the other day when I realized your are in the same vulnerable position while washing your hands at the sink, perhaps even more vulnerable. Do you still wash your hands?

Sinks have a mirror above them to see who is coming up behind you.
Those that use them know of this.
Camo Depends - they are very tactical and protect the wearer from being vulnerable in a public restroom. [LOL]

When I'm suspicious of who is behind me in the restroom, I turn my head. I figured you'd point out the mirrors though. My general situational awareness in restrooms had slightly increased due to this thread.
