I put my gun in a ziploc bag and leave it on the counter next to my shower.

Sounds like too much work. I've got an alternate method of taking the gun into the shower with me, but it's not comfortable. At least it's concealed, and retention's great, since even if they could get it out, I doubt anyone'd want to touch it.

Tends to work best with compacts, though. :D
 
Well, I don't take my gun into the shower, nor is it always within reach while I'm showering. However, I must admit that sitting on the pot and showering are two times when a person is more defenseless than usual...
 
I put my streetsweeper 12ga. in a nylon hip holster and my custom double-stack 1911 in a ankle holster. Then I put my SOG special-ops 14" double sided survival knife in my teeth. I am able to shower that way. Oh, make sure you have plenty of washcloths as they tend to get frayed when using them to wash your face.

Sadly, I have that beat. :uhoh:

I was watching a stack of full auto's, including a number of large belt-feds, while my buddies were off doing something else. I really, really, REALLY had to hit the bathroom.

Well, I'm taking care of business when my battalion commander walks into the latrine. He does not acknowledge the fact that I have over a dozen rather large weapons on me while I am using the facilities. Doesn't say a word or change expressions. He washes out his coffee mug in the sink, and then walks out. Come to think of it, he avoided me for the rest of the time I served under his command. :evil:
 
the only time

The only time I ever had to draw and confront someone in my house was shower time.

I heard noise, got out of the shower, put some shorts on so's not to wave hello. A small hello cause your package tends to, shall we say, minimize itself somewhat during this kind of excitement.

I got a full sight picture on a kitchen remodeler who I'd most explicitly told to call before coming out to the place.

Sheesh, that one gave me about 15 minutes of delayed adrenaline reaction...
 
Dang it Elkslayer, I tried showering with my K-Bar in my teeth but I kept cutting my arm every time I tried to wash my hair. What's your secret? Do you shift your holsters and slings when you wash? I haven't been and I'm starting to get this funny rash in those spots.
 
Buy several police trade in Model 65s, put'em in ziploc bags and stow in toilet tank, spa filter housing, etc.

OMG. That was SOOOO wrong. On several levels. ew.
ew.
 
Forgive me if I snicker just a little at the sight of "wet, naked fat men" sitting on the Throne, holding on to their Glocks with one hand, and the Family Jewels with the other.

Seriously, where do you live, East LA, or the Fisher Project in New Orleans, or Baghdad? I may have led a sheltered life by always having lived in Semi-Rural small towns where crime is low as regards Home Invasions. I don't live in a gated community with armed security either, just an average middle class neighborhood where if you forget to lock your doors, or run off with the garage door wide open, nothing is going to happen.

From the precautions taken by some, I have the distinct impression that hoards of Mongul invaders are encamped just outside the door awaiting their chance to pillage and plunder.

Am I the only member who does not shower or Poot at home unarmed? Surely there mst be at least one more somewhere.

I invite you to come to West Central Florida(excluding Tampa-St. Pete) and buy a house in a moderate sub division, then when the urge strikes, you can leave the hand cannons in the drawer and concentrate on the job at hand.

I mean no disrespect to any of our members, I just found the whole subject amusing
 
JPM -


"Forgive me if I snicker....

Yeah, I was pretty amused too. That is why I posted about having a streetsweeper in the shower.

Seriously, where do you live....

Really ! ! ! If it is that bad, MOVE!,, Duh! :(

... hoards of Mongul invaders are encamped just outside the door....

Sort of reminds me of the commercials they ran during Christmas about using a card other than the one being touted where the hoards of Mongul raiders were racing through the mall !! :D

I invite you to come to West Central Florida(excluding Tampa-St. Pete)

Or Wyoming or Montana or Kansas or.....

... concentrate on the job at hand. :rolleyes:

Yikes! that conjoures up a whole other image I'd rather not do a visiual of! :uhoh:

I just found the whole subject amusing...

Really, I was pretty much ROFLMAO!

Paranoid is the work that comes to my mind when I read the original post and some of the "armed to the teeth" responses. I don't carry into the shower or the head but I do have firearms stashed around the living quarters as there are home invasions even in Wyoming by hopped up druggies.

But the Shower? Guess if I was alone, and didn't have a dog, and lived in a war zone, believed what I saw on TV, yadda, yadda and so on I might have a firearm within reach of the shower/head while I was in that area. But really, just HOW MUCH TIME AND HOW LONG ARE THEY SPENDING IN THERE? GOOD GRIEF, git in, git it done, git out!
 
Depending on where you stay...

I guess this could be funny. I think the between two towels idea has the most merit as far as accesibility/metal friendly bathroom shower-time storage goes . Remember folks, just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you:scrutinize:! I think it would be prudent when you have reason to believe that you could be in danger(even in the shower or on the potty), you should be armed and prepared. Situations that could require being armed in the bathroom do occur, as it has been pointed out. What if someone has made a threat to you? How about if you/neighborhood has been having a rash of break-ins in your area? What if it just makes you feel better having one in the bathroom, rather than not? How about a woman that is being stalked? I consider all these to be valid reasons to have a firearm or weapon close at hand. Having said that, some guys here do seem to take it to the extreme and are full of machismo...But like my latin teacher used to say,"Sturcus Accedit", or S**T Happens(especially in the bathroom :) lol)
 
My 2 Cents

Quote from Alien Vs Predator (paraphrasing) "A gun is like a condom. It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

If your going to have guns in the house and those firearms are not secured at all times, its silly to not be prepared at all times. Criminals are waiting to catch you unawares, and love to attack when your most vulnerable. Murphy's Law anyone???
