Where is your gun when you shower?

I think there would be a very good way to store a loaded firearm in the bathroom so long as you dont have to worry about kids or other people in your home.

We all know that the steam from the shower rises to the ceiling.......

SOOOOO....

You can mount a holster inside the cabinet under the sink down low (if you have a cabinet under the sink) otherwise find some other easily accesable spot near the floor of the bathroom preferably inside something, not just out in the open.

Use a cheap corrosion resistant gun like a used Glock, or a well lubed Hi Point, or well lubed stainless revolver like others have said. So long as it works, thats all that really matters.

Then every 1, 2, or 3 months, take it out, inspect it, shoot it, clean it, lube it, and put it back with new ammo.

I would guess that you'd never have a problem. In fact, I like this idea so much, I might try it some day:D

Thats my input...

OR... Joke time...
You could just take cold showers:o Hah! yeah... thats the best I could do.
 
Hilarious ... whatever gun I'm going to be carrying that day is in our walkin closet off the main bathroom, in a holster, in a drawer, safe from steam ... I do keep a j-frame in a pocket holster in the cabinet above the toilet, which is in a little room of it's own, on the theory that you don't ever want to be caught with your pants down ...
 
I have a humi-cage, I'll put it in the drawer with my gun, and check it before and after I shower. I'll report back, I take a shower once a week weather I need it or not.:D:confused::o
 
Bathtub guns

Pictured below is actor Warner Baxter, in what may be the first talkie (sound movie) with a bathtub-gun scene. Baxter played a notorious yet charming outlaw who gets the better of a deadly adversary in the movie 'In Old Arizona,' released in 1928. At the Academy Awards ceremonies in 1929, Baxter received the Oscar for Best Actor.

"Unless she is absolutely drop dead gorgeous..."

...must be referring to Warner Baxter's carry in this film... an ivory handled 45 ACP nickel plated S&W M1917.

I seriously doubt that very many perps would stay in my bathroom when I am in the shower. I do the other of the three S before I shower. Sometimes this causes my girlfriend to evacuate the building for an hour or so.:p
 
Regular gun storage area except when I have been shooting black powder. Then the gun or guns go in the shower with me. Why make a mess when cleaning the gun and then have to clean up when you can do both at the same time.
 
Well if you're serious, and this isn't some BS...for my two tours during the southeast Asia war games 40 years ago, a gun of some sort was never out of reach, anywhere I went...and I'll leave that to your imagination...that was then...

But by choice, since then, I've chosen to make my family's home as far from an urban, high threat environment as was possible and still make a living. There are two loaded guns now in the house...and I carry here on the farm because I like to shoot, but rarely otherwise...it's just not a necessity....your circumstance may be different...

I would suggest that if you need a gun in the shower, realistically, you could probably do with a change of living environment....no-one with a lick of sense chooses to make their home in the middle of the OK corral.

rodfac... Some folks have no other choice. Me? I moved out of the city to a semi-rural environment. It's nice but there are still drug users here. I bought this old place because I wanted to pay cash to avoid a mortgage. I wanted to own the place outright. I could have bought a nicer place and paid on it for thirty years but... no thanks. I'll make friends with my neighbors, keep quiet about what I have... and keep firearms within reach.
 
Came across an infamous shower shooting, the murder of W. Hartmann, who upon exiting his shower was cut down by an intruder. Police found Mr. Hartmann shot 5 times in the head, 8 times center mass, and once in the scrotum, all bullets 45 ACP.

Mrs. Hartmann told police her husband had committed suicide. Chicago detectives did not buy her story.

Check your 6.

Seriously?
That sounds like a George Carlin joke.

My wedding and funeral CC is a S&W Model 25 Mountain Gun in a shoulder holster worn under a sports coat. It was the only reason I could justify the purchase of the pistol.:rolleyes:

Sadam Husein's bro in law commited suicide. Shot himself in the head 7 times. Not kidding. That is what the final conclusion was.. Poor Sadam was so misunderstood. :D
 
Reading some of these self and/or home defense discussions, I'm always surprised that sandbags and body armor aren't more popular.
 
Sounds like his gun should have been in the safe. That would cut down on the Mrs. Sounds like his wife is eligible for the Jeff Cooper award.
