You can't toggle a bind from what I know.
Well, you can, but you need to do complicated things like writing your own config file, but I don't know how to do that.

Here is how a bind toggle works

bindtoggle o "sv_cheats 0 1"

This toggles sv_cheats 0 to 1 then to 0

Here is the one you want :

bind q toggle
alias toggle "enable"
alias enable "alias toggle disable; +menu"
alias disable "alias toggle enable; -menu"

The above code works, but when I went into the scripting link provided, I found that this was a little difficult to take apart and understand, seeing how there's an actual "toggle" command listed in that link that's different from the "toggle" alias being defined here. Here's a slightly different version:

bind q toggle_menu
alias toggle_menu "menu_on"
alias menu_on "alias toggle_menu menu_off; +menu"
alias menu_off "alias toggle_menu menu_on; -menu"

The first line binds the q key to the toggle_menu command to be implemented. The second line sets the initial execution of the toggle_menu command to execute the menu_on command. The third and fourth lines basically modify the toggle_menu command to switch back and forth between the menu_on and menu_off commands, and then the menu is shown or hidden based on which of those two commands is active at the time.

Also, to make this work without having to enter it into the console each time you startup Gmod, you can put those lines into the autoexec.cfg file, found in the Steam/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/cfg directory.

yeah there is no problem with it, it's better than starting your own thread I guess.

This was one of the first things that popped up on Google when I was searching for how to do this, so I replied mainly to help others. If people get all up in arms about necro, maybe they shouldn't reply and just let it die? :)

If you want to do the same with the context menu, try this:

alias "mc_open" "+menu_context; bind w "mc_close""
alias "mc_close" "-menu_context; bind w "mc_open""
bind [key] "mc_open"
