Showering with your gun

If a BG comes in unarmed, he will appreciate how available you have the gun for him.

No, I never considered any need to have a gun when bathing. I just do not see a booger behind every bush.

While I would have to give kudos to any BG who would have the perfect timing to know

when I'm in the shower, I still have only two thoughts in mind:

1) Condensation

2) Deep Rust and corrosion

So, do I take the certain possibility of allowing my gun to be destroyed regularly,

or bank on the NEXT to ZERO chance of being assaulted in the shower?

My choice is just to save the gun and play the statistics.

YA-HA-HA, that AR in the wrap on the hanger is a stitch!

You must have one of those yuppy upscale bathrooms with indoor plumbing, errr, plumbing & suchlike, there's no sissy bushes inside mine.:p

Plenty round the outside though for the "Bars" & other critters to hide in.:eek:

last time I tried to shower with a gun, it starting laughing hysterically when I took my clothes off.

So never again.

Well since my place is my castle, it has fortifications that make it very hard for anyone to just waltz in and do bad things. So no I dont have a gun on the toilet while showering.

I do keep a sawed off 12 ga strapped to the side just like Big Jake :)


That tidy bowl man might get ahold of that gun, best be carefull and wear the body armour too, water will get down there and you will be doubly protected.........
 
Sometimes it might be a good idea

I know a guy who lived in a normal apartment complex, was quiet and kept to himself but had no idea that one unstable neighbor had it out for him. Apparently you could hear when someone was using the shower (running the water for the shower?) and broke in while he was showering.

He proceeded to rant and rave with a butcher knife while the guy was naked in the shower trying to talk him down. Yeah he was unstable--thought people were spying on him who knows. He eventually left and the cops came to take him to the nut house or wherever.

Bad guys arent always gang members or bank robbers.

Exactly, I'm leaving the gun out for the bad guy. The layout is my house is exactly as you presumed it to be....The FRONT DOOR, is my BATHROOM door, and it's unlocked! Glad you know the layout of my house. I'm DOOMED!!!:eek:
 
Well,at least,while you are in the shower and can't hear a camaro if it slammed through your bathroom wall because of the water sound,the guy that just broke into your house will have a real nice,loaded gun ready on the toilet for him to shoot you with.

Honestly.leaving your gun loaded on the toilet seat is simply a bad idea( and a very bad habit to start) because ANYONE coming into the bathroom will be tempted to remove it to use the toilet or to simply check it out.

The last thing you want is a girlfriend,wife or friend in a hurry to use the toilet to carelessly and quickly pick up your handgun and accidentlly shoot you through the shower curtain with it.

If you feel compelled to do this,I would buy a small shelf from Lowes and put the gun high up,right next to the shower curtain,preferably with a ledge or something so it's still in a situation where only you know it's there.

Even a holster mounted on the wall,right next to the toilet with a box around it with an opening towards the shower is better then the gun just sitting out.

No no and no. lol Not in my eyes papa. You're being so negative. Trust me, it won't happen the way your saying. I should post a video of my house. Haven't any of you seen Miami Vice or Bad Boys or something? Do you know what Miami homes are like? I live with a lot of people I'm not alone. Ex military everywhere. There is NO WAY! Someone can open the door the door and grab my gun on the toilet unless they have superman x-ray powers. And read my mind from outside the house. You my friend are just trying to find a way to bash me. lol Not working! I appreciate the input though. Been told that before and now that person has my "bad habit" Been in a few situations where it was good to have (2) :) Thanks though brother appreciate the concern.
 
Not trying to bash you at all.

Most people do not live in a house filled with ex military people.

But the fact that you do not live alone reinforced the fact that -that gun loaded on that toilet is not a safe place for you to store it while you shower.

You never know-especially in a house with other people-when someone will being a kid in the house and not be looking at that kid for simply a minute and the kid is right outside your shower checking out this cool play gun he just found.

And about to look down the barrel or point it at the shower curtain with his little finger on the trigger and yell,"BANG!"
 
Oh Lord, that would be terrible. lol The youngest person in my household is 18..She's a little brat. Tender state, she tenses up. But doubt she's a problem. I feel you though. The thought of that makes my teeth clench.

The whole, getting killed by your own gun thing...

I saw a video where 2 guys jumped on and they shot him, he hit the floor bleeding their gun malfunctioned and the downed man went for his firearm at 1:00 and they kicked him and grabbed his gun and killed him with it...The whole mag. Very graphic.....

That thought is terrible. Highly unlikely here though. In this household.

We were all having a good time here. Now it's all serious!
 
Having a gun IN the shower is probably over the top.

Having a gun readily accessible while in the bathroom makes at least as much sense as having a gun readily accessible anywhere else in the house. In fact, perhaps more sense. There's a reason that "indisposed" is sometimes used as a euphemism for using the bathroom. People tend to be at less than their best while in the bathroom--both in terms of their awareness and in terms of their ability to respond to a threat.

There have been documented instances of criminals taking advantage of this. There was one serial killer that made it his M.O. to enter a house while a woman living alone was in the shower. He would follow his victims home from a health club knowing that they would likely shower when they got home. The running water covered the noise of his entry.

God Bless you.

I agree 100% the whole IN the shower for me was a joke. The pic I had where it was right there is how I really do it. This worlds going crazy.
 
I've cleaned a BP gun or two in the shower, mostly my Rem 1858, I'll take the grips off, and carry it into the shower to rinse it out after a big range day.

(I also shave, drink beer, and sometimes eat in the shower... I'm a notoriously long bather...)

The FoodSaver™ bagged guns hanging in the shower are probably jokes, but remember, you're not gonna tear one of those bags open in the shower, you need a knife or at least a pair of scissors hanging with to open.
 
My pistol is always on me or within reach.

The only time I don't have it with me is when I'm at the gym, because I don't want to leave it in my bag in a locker. I'm planning on purchasing a sub-compact that I'll put in an ankle holster as a back-up, which I'll keep on me at the gym when I'm lifting.

When I'm at home showering, my pistol rests on the bathroom counter 3 feet away from me.
 
There is a shelf in our bathroom where my wife sets her Bersa .380 when she showers.

In our area there have been quite a few burglaries. The burglars go around knocking on doors, if someone answers they pretend to offer some service (handyman, roofing, etc) if no one answers they kick the door in and rob the place.

My wife keeps the gun in the shower just in case these guys stop by while she is showering, she wouldn't be able to answer the door, so they might kick the door in while she is in the shower.
