The kid was in the bathroom with a gun?

How often are you more vulnerable than when you’re in the bathroom?
I carry at home all the time. If there’s one place I can carry openly and without concern for prying eyes it’s in my own home.
If you have been carrying, you often still have your gun holstered even in your home. This does not surprise me a bit. Needing to use the restroom put a door between him and the jack boots and probably saved his life.
When someone breaks into your house they generally don't check to see if you're going potty first.
Actually, there's no time when you're more vulnerable and in need of a weapon.
Whats the big deal? I have a firearm with me 90% of the time. One on my dresser at night. One on my hip or in my pocket when out walking about. One on me in the car. One in my messenger bag. On desk at home. On my desk at work. Sometimes one on my hip when in the recliner watching TV. And yes sometimes one when I am in the bathroom. I want the to become very familiar with the firearms I choose to carry to the point it becomes a natural response to handle it safely and accurately should I ever need to use it.
Prince’s son, Justin Ross, was in the bathroom when police burst in, and he was carrying a gun that he has the legal right to carry. “I stood up, I drew my weapon, I started to get myself together to get out the door, I heard someone in the main room say police. I re-holstered my weapon sat back down and put my hands in my lap,” Ross recalls.

The cops were lucky. If I was in the bathroom with a gun and illegal intruders busted into my home illegally, there would be a need for a few body bags. Probably one for me, but still...
you don’t have a gun in the bathroom? you’re most vulnerable in the bathroom.
When I am carrying I do not take my holster off my belt before entering my bathroom.
No, the kid with a gun went to the bathroom. Duh!
Bodily functions do not cease just because you are carrying personal armaments.
When carrying, I while sometimes unholster my firearm and place it on a counter/toilet tank top/etc while ‘doing my business’ to prevent the weight of the firearm from dragging on my pants and potentially making a mess...
And yes, “Every Day Carry” means every day you have it on. It becomes habitual to holster up and just leave it there. If this means taking out the garbage, making dinner, or playing frisbee in the yard with the kids while armed... Then so be it.
Of course he had his gun.
