Where is your gun when you shower?

IMO, it's just as likely someone would attack you in the shower as sitting on your couch watching a Friends re-run. So why not have a gun in the bathroom?


At least it won't be during re-runs of Everybody Loves Raymond.
 
With all the TV episode posts I considered posting about having some really interesting (explicit video) running in the living room to divert a perp's attention until you're done showering. But then I thought... nahh.
 

That thread is funny, sort of, wish I'd seen it before it got closed.

Not one poster knew how to properly use a handgun as a bludgeon. Or if they do they made a joke instead.

You could whip someone with the barrel. However, if you really want to try and crack their skull, you hold it like a hammer. Only you don't grip the barrel, you wrap your hand around the frame and put your finger through the trigger guard.

Large, heavy revolvers work best. It might not work to well with a sub-compact polymer gun.

Holding my SAA like a hammer. I can't speak for anyone else, but I myself don't think getting hit in the head with it, would be too funny.

I just read the pistol-whipping thread, as well. This was actually addressed in Kill or Get Killed, by Colonel Rex Appplegate. The illustration shows the gun in a pretty much a firing grip and swung to strike an enemy with the slide or barrel of the sidearm. IIRC, this is only done as a last resort when the gun is empty.

Which seems intuitive. It's not as if you're going to have both hands free to turn the the gun around and use it as a club when an attacker is on top of you. You're going to shoot, and if you can't shoot, you're going to hit him with whatever you have in your hand. In this case, you have an approximately two pound piece of steel in your hand. Better than an empty hand.
 
While scrubbing up, I have to consider my home defense plan.

First, an intruder on foot would have to find my house that has been strategically place inside a 40 area hedge maze. If they found there way through that, they would encounter the barbed wire that I have encircling my house.

Then there are the tigers. I know a lot of people like guard dogs, but they are too easily distracted by tennis balls. I have my tigers trained to attack any living thing unless given a special command word. I chose a word from the language of aboriginal Australians so someone doesn't get lucky and guess it.

After that, I have steel safe doors at all my house's entrances. The windows are decommissioned submarine portholes.

For attacks from helicopters or powerful trampolines, the roof of my house is a grease fountain. The grease continuously runs down the shingles making it impossible to stand there and attempt to cut into my home through the roof.

Inside, I've chosen to make my entire house a mirror maze. You have to make 16 turns just to get out of the foyer.

If you do make to past the hedges, barbed wire, tigers, grease, and mirrors, you'll be greeted by my full-time ninja/butler named Jenkins. He's 6'3" and 275 lbs. He has Olympic gold metals in two different summer events and three winter events. He only eats human flesh.

So, to make a long story short, I don't keep a gun in the bathroom.
 
i put a rope thru the trigger guard and wear it around my neck along with my neck knife and soap on a rope.....oh, and my metal match fire starter in case i need to send smoke signals.
 
I strap on my bullet proof vest and keep my glock holstered to it while i wash my legs. then I take off my BP vest strap on my ankle holster and put my glock there while I wash my torso:D
 
I rather use a baton for whipping, pistol whipping like that could cause the gun to fire. I do own a whip, that would be best for whipping.
 
Get an NAA Belt Buckle Revolver... Remove the revolver from the belt buckle... There are all sorts of places to hide one of those while taking a shower. Just be careful not to make any sudden moves!

Actually, I count myself among those who feel that if I'm shot while taking a shower, it's just my time. Will make an interesting page 4 story in some newspaper.
 
Seriously...

I do keep a 9mm in a bathroom drawer. I guess living in a horrible neighborhood for awhile taught me a lesson.:cool:
 
I was watching Doomsday Preppers the other day and got a good idea from the NYC firefighter. I now keep a box of broken glass in the bathroom and right before I get in the shower, I throw it on the floor.

Glass doesn't rust.

Now, that's a brilliant idea. Even a ninja will make crunching noises trying to get across the floor to the shower, giving you time to get your weapon out of its shrink wrap
