fireman1776 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Noob question but is it a rule that you have to leave your firearm if you go to the bathroom? Is it against the rules to just keep it on your person?ย Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most dudes do that. if you are a chick, or a dude who is not peeing, it gets more complicated. it is certainly possible to undo your belt and pull your pants down while leaving it attached to your pants and sit down and do your biz, but it makes more sense to me just stop by the safe table, bag the gun, and do my biz. I don't want to leave my gun unattended, and I don't want to drop my gun in a pool of blue poo goo, but maybe I am just being a pansy about the whole thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are at least 5ย rules and one glossary item that may pertain toย this. The way I see the rules I think itโs debatable. Though in the long run I doubt anybody would do it.ย Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Part_time_redneck Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 If it's a quickie belt stays on. If I'm tired and need to sit down, bag it and then take care of business. If someone ditched belt and all in safe area, in our terminology perhaps he "knew the timer was running and was worried about an accidental discharge".ย Quote Link to post Share on other sites
