Using the bathroom in my own house and it feel out of the holster and bounced off the bathtub and hit the tile floor and I heard my wife say "Droped you gun didn't you" Ah.......Yes

I said as I swallowed my pride.

I took my name off the waiting list and left the resturant fearing someone would recognize my shoes. The whole time my wife was fussing at me because she really wanted to eat there.

Not embarrassed, but ... that shock feeling ...

When I was walking across the parking lot toward the store, and elbow tapped to make sure things were fine (gun check).... and NO GUN !!!

Hurriedly retracted my steps..... opened car door and there is the gun in the car seat. It had fallen out of the holster.

Threw that holster away and got one that worked better.

I bet it either freed him up, or made it impossible to finish.

Different levels of checking and different databases. Unless your home state requires actually registering the firearm, the Federal 4473 is just a record of sale which stays at the point of sale unless the BATFE requires it. Doing a complete trace of a firearm is time consuming and expensive, and usually starts with the manufacturer and progresses to the FFL who last sold the gun. Absent a reason to suspect the gun was used criminally, there was no reason to do a full trace on it.

Or trying to make your own holster: I was using a back brace as an improvised belly band, and was depending on the compression to hold the pistol in place.

Yup. That restroom "Ka-LAACK!" is pretty loud. Glad I wasn't in line at the bank.

One more episode: at a NC event which charged admission I was unable to carry so I had my weapon in the trunk. Reholstering afterwards was, um, awkward for the homebrew smartcarry I had, so I just tucked the revolver under my leg as I drove the family and daughter's pal home from the movies. We stopped to get gas, and the wife and I went to pay and get snacks. Halfway to the building I realized that the revolver was in full view on the driver's seat, with two teenage girls in the back seat, laughing at me. I am not sure that the pal knew I was carrying before that, but she played along nicely... though somewhat at my expense.

My most embarrassing moment was wrecking a motorcycle while carrying my Colt Commander in a Milt Sparks VM2. I woke up in the ditch, a couple people stopped to see if I was OK. I had rung my bell pretty well and didn't know where I was or how I got there (beyond my motorcycle lying on the ground and my clothing in shreds). My glasses had fallen off (the shield of my helmet had popped off upon impact and my glasses must've flown out) and I couldn't find them. The people that had stopped to help were looking for my glasses and found my spare mag, "Hey does this belong to you?" I patted my right side--empty holster. I just about had a heartattack, I responded, "Yes, and there's a pistol along with it, too." Found it about 10 yards back in the ditch. It was a bit scuffed up, but not too bad. They were very, very apprehensive upon finding that I had a pistol. Very embarrassing situation.

I trashed the holster, smashed the steel reinforced lip in, couldn't reholster. Shoved it SOB in the meantime. Another guy stopped, said he was a paramedic and offered to have a look at me before my ride to the hospital showed up. I said, "yea, sure, go ahead." I had completely forgot about the pistol SOB (I was still pretty messed up from whacking my head on the ground) and the moment he lifted my shirt I thought he crapped his pants. "Whoa...you got a permit for that?" Yea sure, I do. "Well, you've got some nasty scuffs, but you'll be fine...BYE." And he hurried off. Again, very embarrassing.

And then my whole family found out that I carried. Embarrassing.

Long story short--don't crash motorcycles.
