Guns in the shower?

Not open for further replies.
I have a stainless mini 14 on a rack in the shower, with 10 spare 30 round magazines. There is a 870 Marine magnum under the sink (also cleans clogs great), a Glock 18 in the toilet bowl (nothing hurts tenifer and I mean nothing), and I keep a Freedom Arms 454 in the toilet tank in case of bears. There is a Barret .50 in the dust closet in case of dinosaurs or other genetic mutants, and finally a Sep Dard 120mm anti-tank rocket that I picked up just because it was on sale at Shop-Ko. I keep that in the medicine cabinet. When I shower I usually just keep my body armor on because it needs to get washed anyway.

In all seriousness, this is actually a pretty good question, my kid just isn't mobile enough to worry about yet. A good question though.
 
This is terrible, have had to go to the bathroom for hours and can't make up my mind whether to take a long gun or handgun.

If I explode it will be the fault of Cassandra Complex and Fud.

Sam...follow me, but not too close.
 
Stick the gun and/or ammo in a ziplock bag. That should keep it plenty dry in that short period of time.

Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.
 
Cassandra, seriously, this is something we talk about in our personal protection class. I'd bet you can drive down your road and tell where the bathroom is in every house (ok, they might be on the back of the house, but you get the idea.) Bathrooms almost always have small, sometimes high, windows, often with the "rippled" glass. When the light comeson, someone's in there. It wouldn't take long to figure out someone's shower schedule seeing that. I don't know a single person who can hear a thing when they're in the shower. That's a perfect time for a break-in. We suggest to our students that they keep a light on in the bathroom at all times...so folks outside can't tell when you're in there or not.


FUD, I almost forgot to tell you! I wear my gunbelt, holster, and 1911 in the shower with me every day!

For those of us who do not carry tupperware pistols like the Glock a ziplock quart sized storage bag works well and you can get at least one shot off with the weapon still in the bag if the SHTF.
 
FUD, As long as you are carrying a Glock into the shower, no problemo!!!! Shower with your Glock as much as you want to.(although I prefer to shower with my wife!!! ;) ) You could also get rid of all your other sissy pistols, and buy all Glocks. This would solve the corrosion, and the security problem. ;)
Safety first man!!! :)

Yeah, I got a permit to carry,it's called the friggin Constitution.---Ted Nugent

Do you people realize we are coming up onto the biggest thing that hit the gunworld. Ladies and Gentleman I present to you
"GLOCK ON A ROPE", Yes now you can shower and always have piece of mind with you. But it is good that he does always have his children in mind.
 
There's an easy solution to the bathroom defense problem. Whenever you shower, take your Rottweiler with you. That way the dog gets a bath and you can turn him loose on any goblins that show up.
 
A trigger lock would be one extra thing to carry on a vacation when we're trying to keep things lite. However, I like the zip-loc baggy idea ... we always have a whole bunch of baggy with us anyway for other reasons. Thanks for the responses.
 
This is hilarious!!! I thought I was paranoid for taking my pistol into the bathroom with me when showering. We have a shelf/cabinet next to the shower. The top of this cabinet is within easy reach from the shower and makes a perfect resting spot for a cocked and locked 1911. :)

I've thought about building something out of wood or looking around the stores for a plastic doo-hicky that will hang off of the shower curtain rod. You might think about setting up a holster (or buying something) to hang over the pipe of the shower head right up against the wall. It shouldn't get too wet there if you shower with a little distance between you and the shower head.

I think I'll avoid claymores in the hallway! :eek:

The first step is registration, the second step is confiscation, the final step is subjugation.

You are alone, with no windows to escape, and ONE door ...[/quote]Actually, I have two doors in my bathroom: one that leads back into the house and the other door which leads into the backyard. After reading some of these comments, I'm now beginning to worry about that outside door while I'm in there reading my morning paper. Maybe [Link to invalid post] is something to be seriously considered.

If y'all put the claymores out front on either side of the door there ain't gonna be nothin' *left* of the paper for your morning reading session. They might even cancel your subscription, too, after the paperboy flies thru the living room window of your cross-the-street neighbors. ( Now I ain't gonna be able to close my eyes to go to sleep without seeing the little punk on his stingray type bike crashing thru that big living room window ).

CRSam, are we on the same medications?
 
Yo! FUD,

You are obsessing about equipement, when you should be considering tactics. Skip the shower.

The famous 16th Century Japanese swordsman, Musashi, NEVER bathed, because he might get caught at a tactical disadvantage.

Problem solved. I hope Mrs. FUD is supportive!

The scary part of this thread is that I will wager most everyone here has had the same thought. I think "Glock-on-a-rope" is the most practicle solution. Get those marine capsuls while you can. The rumor is that no more will be imported.

Just for the record, a little more seriously, there are two classic movie scenes that apply that make me froth at the mouth.

The first suspense scene is where the poor feeble female watches terrified as someone tries to break in the from door. I have yet to see Hollywood show the gal grabbing hubby or Pop's over-under and dissolving into a shot of the detective questioning her as they cart off the body.

The second scene is where the gal is in the shower and the thug's arm and knife come crashing thru the shower glass. I ain't holding my breath for Hollywood to show the gal swing a khukuri to lop off the thug's forearm.

Course either way, there's the end of the plot.........
 
If you are THAT concerned about your safety, try locking your doors. Then get a large dog. And an alarm system.

Then you will have enough time to get to your gun without having to resort to the Glock-on-a-Rope strategy.
 
I always bring the big gun with me when I shower.. :p
