Even if no discharge occurs, having it bounce under the stall divider and having to ask the guy next to you to return it would be a difficult situation indeed.
I hesitate to set my gun down for fear that I may forget it when I leave. I realize that not everyone will do this, but I know that the potential for me is there to "forget" that I set it down until after I've left. I can't tell you how many pairs of sunglasses I've lost this way.:uhoh:

I agree.If you're wearing an IWB holster (99% of which have no retention devices) it's very easy (in fact nearly guaranteed)forthe gunto fall out when dropping your pants totake a deuce. I'll be honest, it happened to me the very first time I attempted it. Ever since then I unholster before my pants go anywhere. Everyone here is assuming he was OCing, which is highly unlikely. If he was using an IWB holster, the gun wouldn't have been dragging on the floor, it would be laying on his pants.
