So, where's the safe place to put it in a bathroom stall?
They put convenient holder in the bathrooms. I use these, you hook the trigger guard on it and you are in business. Larger calibers you can just stick the barrel on the stem.

Your disbelief doesn't change my behavior. When I put a loaded gun into my holster in the morning it stays there until I go I to bed. The only exception is for common sense free zones like schools. I don't care how much you beg me to let you touch it.I don't believe you. Anyone with 6,000+ posts on a gun forum - who carries a gun - has shown it to someone.
If we want to remove our gun from the holster to coonfinger it and show our buddy there's a safe way to do it. That's not being a bearded operator, that's simply acknowledging the risk and overcoming it by putting a procedure that works in place. In other words, being vigilant!

Wherever the hell you want. If you're in the stall all by yourself, who cares?

I'll bite on your point though. What if you keep it "safely holstered" yet still engage the trigger while pulling your pants up or tucking your shirt in or any of the million other 'what if?' instances that can happen? I know, I know. That can't happen because you use a good holster and make sure you don't accidentally catch it on anything. I bet you never have a pen in your pocket or the corner of your wallet comes in contact with it. Never had a pull string on a jacket or any of the other causes of NDs. Surely you've never shat next to someone who could see your holstered gun, reach right over and grab it. Because none of those things ever happen.
My point in all this is accidents happen. Pretending like your way of preventing them is any better than anyone else's way is simply an opinion. There are many safe ways to handle firearms and there's no need to poo poo on someone else's way just because it's different from yours. I respect your right to leave your firearm in a holster all the time... but I still don't believe you do. I believe you can safely remove it for various purposes be they coonfingering or dumping in public.

I've never had one.
If I make a mistake, I may.
It is not inevitable that I will.
The more I follow the rules, the less chance I will.
To my knowledge, no one here has claimed they are immune, only that it won't happen unless they make a mistake.
And no one here is infallible!

I'll take it a step further. If your finger is off the trigger the gun won't function either. (Ammo present or not.) Waving around a loaded firearm with your finger off the trigger is no more dangerous than waving a wizard's wand.
You guys do realize firearms cannot fire without ammunition in them, right? .............
And that is why safety traing should be for everyone... even law enforcement...
