Bathroom Senario

[Trav]

Do you bring your pistol in the bathroom when you shower?

I've played this out it my head before but today I honestly thought I was going to need it.

I went up to take a bath and brought my LCP with me as I almost always do and set it on the top of the toilet. I also open my top drawer on the vanity that way the door cant be opened unless literally kicked off the hinges.

Well, as soon as I turn the bath water off I hear what sounds to be an unfamiliar phone ring once. Already in the tub I didn't just open the door, I sat there to listen for any other noises....nothing. I get up and look out the window to see a truck parked in the street at the end of my driveway, this got my adrenaline goin a little bit since I have never seen it before and I live in a cul de sac.

I finish my shower and check to see if the truck is still there, yep. Still not hearing any noise I decide Im going to go out with my LCP ready to respond vs tucked in its pocket holster under my towel at the appendix position. I proceed to clear the upstairs and move down stairs to continue clearing the whole house.

Luckily, I found nothing but it definitely made me think about what I would do a little more in depth had someone broke into my house.

I've got pistols in several rooms in the house and the bathroom is one of them, but like you sometimes a bring in the LCP so I have one within reach if need be.

If nobody else is home, I also take my Hk with me to the shower.

I always feel voulnerable when I shower. I can't hear a dang thing while I'm in there, the whole house could blow away for all I can hear!!
I always drop my pants -belt and gun included- right outside the shower. If I'm changing to PJ's and going to bed, the pants/gear gets posted within arms' reach of my bed.

And to make maters worse, the victim in the movies always gets it in the shower... think psycho.

One of my pistols is always within reach, everywhere

One of my pistols is always within reach, everywhere

One is kept on the nightstand...and another follows me from room to room.
Right now, my Glock-36 is on the nightstand, and my SP101 is sitting next to my keyboard.

I have never taken a gun into the bathroom with me while showering. My Doberman and Rottie mix should give me enough warning and time to get out and be at my 870 in seconds. I carry while at home, doing yardwork etc, but just never felt the need to carry into the bathroom while I'm showering.

Only in Iraq or Afghanistan have I taken it into the shower area...

I put mine on top of the cabinet next to the shower. Can't be seen if you walk in and you would have to be as tall as I am to reach it. But yep, in reach at all times

The Tenifer finish on a Glock makes it a great toilet tank gun.

AIWB towel carry that is one I will have to remember.

SIGguy you read my mind. Until you have showered with a rifle hanging from the towel hook or shaved and brushed your teeth wearing only a towel and a shoulder holster you haven't lived.

I think that taking a gun into the shower is a bit too much. It's not like you guys live in Iraq or Afghanistan. If you feel so terrified of taking a shower without having a gun with you then just leave a gun on top of the toilet and then go and take a shower with a spear gun.

How about a soap gun?
