No, I've got a gun that stays in the master bathroom in a drawer.

Do you take your weapon into the bathroom when showering?

My Stainless Steal Smith & Wesson 642-1 was designed for use in the bathroom, it won't rust. Besides the last time I checked ISIS and gang bangers are impolite where I live. They don't respect my privacy and might barge right on in, and they don't give me time to go retrieve it
from some hiding place.

Put a "GUN FREE ZONE" sign in front of your house. I've heard those things are enough to stop any criminal!

My Taurus PT145 pro showers with me. My Malinois guards the doorway.

If you research the stats across this nation, home invasions are on the rise and maybe not in your area....yet. I'd rather be prepared for the worse than fall victim. Semper Fi.
Can you provide this research?

Don't be lazy...Google is your friend.
Yes, because I'm not keen on leaving an unsecured loaded firearm out of my sight and reach. It's got nothing to do with a fear of ninjas entering through the bathroom window. 
And, truth be told, if someone DID break into my home while I was in the shower, I'd feel better knowing I didn't have to run to another room to access my sidearm.

Fair enough. Coming from a person who perpetuates headlines from the media and refuses to cite authentic sources. Doesnt seem hypocritical.

This will illustrate why "home invasion" is difficult to find stats on.
So roll the dice. It depends greatly on where one lives, and how much ( for instance in my area) cross border activity occurs.
FBI stats don't list "home invasions" because there are many various crimes that result from burglary while the home is occupied.

Snarkiness while under cover of internet is not even listed.

I have a special shower cap concealed carry rig that fits on top of my head under my shower cap.
Basically youre telling me that anyone who claims home invasions is on the rise is basically lying. That guy who told me to google it, probably never googled it himself since obviously stats are hard to find.
If you cant find the stats, then your claims are based on anecdotal evidence or the media. Thanks for proving my point in a serious non snarky way. All that I want are some of the claims I see on this forum backed up by some type of evidence. All i ever hear is the sky is falling, if it is, show me your hand so that I can see it too.

Well, before you pat yourself on the back for the internet debating skills, note terminology of topic....but,
No, you're fine. All those things that are commonly included in what is, in vernacular, called "home invasion" to include battery, theft, rape, homocide, terroristic threat and more don't apply to you. Since the term isn't used by your reliable informational sources (same people that say the border is secure, for instance),
there's nothing to worry about or be prepared for. Life's a bowl of cherries
carry on. Until the term is actually codified, then get one of those shower caps for your Glock.

Is there a chance that someone may break into my home someday?
Check.
Is there a chance that this could happen while I am in the bathroom?
Check.
Is there a chance that I could be in a walmart, or church, or mall and someone may decide to shoot the place up?
Check.
What's the difference? How is a bathroom any more paranoid than carrying in a church, or mall, or store, or driving down the highway? If you don't do it, fine, but don't belittle people who do for having a firearm within reach somewhere that you may not.
There a is a term for people that think that way: "Hypocrite".
