So, the capitol police can’t figure out how to drop a deuce with a gun?
This was found in the Capitol Visitor Center bathroom:
So, the guy or gal takes the gun out of the holster and, presumably, removes the magazine from it, I guess to make it “safe”. Police usually carry two mags so that’s my guess. All kinds of safety violations here, in addition to forgetting you left your fucking gun in a bathroom.

Why does the the Second Amendment seem to contradict the taking of a Number Two?
In my career I’ve been issued two brands of holsters: Uncle Mike’s (before they went to junk) and and Safariland. Of all the models my agency issued me, I’ve never had to remove my pistol from the holster when I’ve had to answer the call of nature. Why would I? My firearm has never fallen out or misfired while I was running or tussling with a subject. Why would it suddenly start shooting through innocent children and nuns while I’m trying to peruse the Pliocene age periodical left behind by the previous occupant of the stall?
For the past two decades I’ve carried IWB, OWB, and pocket carry. I make sure I have a good holster. Same concept as when I’m carrying my duty gun.
So many people think that they have to let their pants sag down to their ankles. Use your knees to hold your pants around the belt line. This “wide stance” will keep your carried weapon off the floor and out of the view of whomever is trying to look under your stall. The only problem I’ve had with this “wide stance” is when Senator Larry Craig was in the stall next to me. (I don’t want to talk about it, but the media fallout was ridiculous.)

Actually, the mag is pulled simply because the gun is too thin to wedge in there alone. I figured it was the reload rather than the one in the gun, but… these goldbrickers are probably too lazy to carry a reload.

That actually looks more like a shooting gun. 😉

Obviously, OSHA – or maybe it’s EEOC – should issue a requirement for Universal Holsters attached to the back wall of the stall. I’m writing my Congressman !

I’ve seen several cases of guns found in toilet stalls. I wonder how often somebody who walks in on this scene plays finders/keepers instead of turning it in.

Geez, I wish I could find something like this…

One reason I like shoulder holsters (Galco Miami Classic) when traveling or other wise regularly using non-home facilities.

@Phillip: One of my employees was questioned by the feds because he sat in the same row as someone who was carrying a loaded gun on a commercial flight (an “only One”). The dude stuffed it under the seat because it was uncomfortable to have on his person during the x-country flight.
The gun owner disembarked the plane, got some food or something, and then promptly remembered that he forgot his gun. By the time he got there, all the cleaning and other gate crew had been onto and off the plane. No gun on the plane, and based on the questions from the feds to my employee – they were not close to finding it.
The story never hit the news.
