Showering with your gun

I'm more worried about a Meteorite hitting me in the head while in the shower then being attacked by a heard of zombies or crack heads while I take my 4 min shower.

In fact I never have a gun on me in the house. I have a couple where they can be reached. I guess having built the ft door frame myself helps the confidence level. I'll have plenty of time to get to the M1 Carbine if down stairs and the Bull Dog Pug if upstairs.
 
I'm not that paranoid yet, but I understand and agree with the thought behind it. If a home invasion would happen to occur while you are in the bathroom, you would literally "be caught with your pants down". And since you can never really be sure when a home invasion might occur, having your gun in the bathroom with you isn't a terrible idea. Also consider that most bathrooms are built for privacy, which means you can't see what's going on outside, and you may not be able to see a threat approaching.

I'm fortunate enough to live in an area where I don't have to worry about things like that. But if I knew the unsavory element was starting to move into my area, you can bet that I would at least be keeping my CCW with me when I go to the bathroom.
 
smoked too much meth...

Really? I didn't know you could smoke meth. I'm apparently sadly undereducated.

As to the original question, catch me in the shower and you'll catch the P-01 reclining on the sink. Nothing weird about that.
 
Really, Are there that many of the folks on this forum living in unsavory areas to where you are afraid of home invasions? Why in the world would you want to continue to live there? Unless, this is the way you also make your money.

Move out of your childhood neighborhoods and live somewhere else. I assure you if you have some minimal intelligence you will be able to find your way around and can drive in Two Egg, Alabama just as well as you could in the inner city of Detroit. There is also a less chance of you dying of air pollution, chemicals, stray bullet hitting you in a 711 store and etc. In Two Egg, you may not find the need to carry your gun to the out house. Besides it might just fall in. What a crappy episode and you thought Red Bull ate the finish of your gun.
 
Lamarw, while I don't actually take it in the shower I do often lay it on the sink or the clothes hamper. And I live in a small town in the South with low crime. You don't have to if you don't choose to. The likelihood I'll ever need it is low, but hopefully, if I do, the sight of a naked 400 pound man with a large gun will be enough to make any hoodlum turn over a new leaf.:p
 
Yep,

Stainless 38 Rossi snub in pants pocket that i hang behind the door when im in the shower.

A friend of a friend was in the shower when his home was invaded, he was in the shower and only had his Browning Baby. He realised what was happening when his family kept screaming and fired a shot through the door when they tried to force it open. The attackers ran off.

It is a good idea i guess.
 
Several people have said something about
unsavory areas or they dont live in bad areas

Was the AZ shooting in a unsavory area or do robers only rob the hood? Any where any time. If you live in a nice neighborhood I think it would make you a better target for a robber "more likely to have stuff worth value". I would rather bring in in the bathroom 1 million times and never need it than not bring it in once and need it.
 
I knew people who agree would come out of the wood works. It's highly necessary to have it at bay while in the shower. Where ever you are. People are doing home invasions like crazy cause of the economy and all that. I liked the pic of the Glock hanging from the shower head :D
 
Oh look. Hoodlums just did graffiti at the entrance of my neighborhood where my house is 3 doors down (I know good band too) I'll snap a pic when I get back home.
 
The vast majority of the time, when I get dressed and put on my weapon, it stays with me all day until I take it off to go to bed. When I take a shower in the evenings, I get a towel and go to the bathroom. There I take off my weapon and place it on the sink. I undress and shower. So it's not so much an "I take it to the shower with me" kind of thing; but more of a, "where I am, it is" kind of thing.

Well done. I got a good chuckle out that picture...

To the original post, no, I do not feel the need to shower with a pistol. Even if I did, I'd hate to expose my pistol to that much moisture.
 
Wait a second...

You leave your gun OUTSIDE of the shower, where you can't see it?

THAT'S COURTING DISASTER!

I keep mine fully accessible at all times. When I'm IN the shower, I keep it clenched firmly between my buttocks. Better than a quick release holster.

& that is definitely too much information.:eek:
I'm not even going to go to the "is it Vaseline-coated or not?" part of this discussion, well, maybe I will.:o
 
I worry about the damage caused by moisture, however in my apt complex I'm never an arms length (or good lunge) away from my firearms. Drug dealers and stick up kids all over the place, and moving isnt a possibility until summer, so I'm not taking a chance. It gets wrapped in a towel when showering, and there is always a knife in the bathroom as well, along with my cell phone.
