Do you take your weapon into the bathroom when showering?

[Comrad]

I always have my gun with me....this is my weapon, this is my gun.....

You seriously take a gun in a ziplock bag into the shower with you??

Sometimes you don't know what kind of neighborhood you end up in. Yeah, I seriously have ziplocked a J frame into the shower.

 

[CoMF]

Yeah, I'm one of those "yes" voters.

In the bathroom, yes. Into the shower, no.

No, it's not because I expect ninjas to jump through my bathroom window.

I also don't get to choose whether or not someone invades my home during "awkward" moments like showering or "using the facilities."

A defensive tool does me no good if it's sitting in another room when I actually need it because I'm worried about other people thinking I'm "paranoid."

 

[elm_creek_smith]

Hell, they can believe I'm paranoid. I don't care.

I keep thinking of Ernie, of "Bert and Ernie" doing the "Rubber Duckie" song with an 8" model 29 instead of the duck.....

 

[RSanch111]

Sometimes - not because I am paranoid, but because I just want to stare at it and do a little bonding. I am sure there're plenty of you out there that know what I am talking about.

Did you have in mind your "weapon" or your "gun"?

With all this talk of needing a gun in the shower, with my general habit of looking at things we should be more afraid of than armed home invaders, I think I'm now worried enough to get an AED for each room in the house!

I guess I am a "sometimes" person. If I intend to wear the same pants afterwards, the Glock 22 that is already there holstered on the belt goes into the bathroom with me. If I have to whiz at zero dark thirty in the morning, I don't holster up.

Since I posted my first response, this thread has caused me to get much more practical and tactical.
I have now gone to hidden Claymores set around the perimeter of the shower.

See that rubber ducky? Those flip flops? Don't even think about it buddy.

My dog (big girl) usually lays down outside the door of the bathroom when im in there. No one unauthorized is getting near me at that point......

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

No. But if I had a commode gun it would be a glock.

 

[backer]

Wasn't it somewhat normal to take your M1 into the shower for a through cleaning. Admittedly it was a long time ago, but if I recall correctly, some did.

 

[raylan007]

Just my soap on a rope is all that is required for a good shower.

 

[NJM15]

That explains why--

Now I know why my 27 is rusty

 

[The Real Hawkeye]

Curious as to responses as there was a member of my family who did this when showering - saying this is when he felt most vulnerable.

Is there some magical sphere of protection that I'm not aware of, associated with the bathroom wherein one takes a shower, which nullifies the rationale for keeping a firearm somewhere nearby?

 

[Valmet]

I will on occasion if I'm not at home and I'm traveling.
