Anyone here keep a firearm in their bathroom?
The reason I ask is because I was recently taking a shower when my boxer started barking. The only time she ever barks is when someone is standing at the front or back door. I live in the middle of the sticks so not too many people just drop by. When I was finally able to get out there was no one there but she was still standing at attention by the door.. That was the first time it has ever occurred to me that maybe a bathroom gun isn't such a bad idea. |

You know, for as much of a home defense nut as I am, I confess I do NOT have a gun in the bathroom.
If psycho killers break in while I am sitting on the throne, I'm toast. But you're right, there is no reason you could not have a home invasion while you are in the bathroom, so maybe I need to rethink my game plan. |

Where do you folks live - Beirut? Uh oh, you "went there." Please don't make me trot out my lecture about how violent home invasions can occur anywhere. 
Cliff's Notes: - The Manson killings happened in one of the most exclusive and upscale residential zip codes in the United States. - The "In Cold Blood" killings happened in a nice farmhouse out in the country. Bottom line - it isn't just "the ghetto." |

Quoted: Bathroom guns make sense. You're never more vulnerable as when you're naked in the shower or on the crapper. I have a Mossy 500 in the bathroom closet. You have obviously never been near by while I was taking a crap. Its illegal for me to take a dump in 14 states without a permit. . |

Quoted:
If I'm not wearing a gun at home, then I carry it with me from room to room. Always stay armed, keep your doors barricaded, and NEVER answer the door. That might be a little much. I keep a pistol or rifle handy at home, but I don't barricade myself, and I will answer the door - with a pistol or rifle in my hand. |

I usually just use the one I'm carrying, when the shower routing comes, the G17 goes in and is placed arms reach away during the soap and rinse cycle. The light / laser is always on this pistol as it primarily does bedside pistol duty, plus it sucks to be showering or taking a crap at night when the lights go out, nothing worse than being your most vulnerable AND not having any light or means of protection.  |

O.k., I'm a gun guy and I have my little fears about home invasion and such.....but this is just fucking ridiculous. I mean, it's one thing to be prepared for the most likely scenario, but another thing entirely to live your life as if you think Ted Bundy and Janet Reno are gonna kick down your door any minute and rape your man butt. For fucks sake people, stop watching VHS copies of Red Dawn for a while and come on back to the real world. ( and yes, I have a VHS copy of Red Dawn.) |

3 Fails: 1) Magazine rack made out of wicker 2) A blue toilet seat? Who buys something like that? 3) Dude - $4.99 will buy you a new non-crusty plunger. |

Actually, the thugs in your area have probably already learned that you are "that guy" who always has a gun and will shoot them if they break in, so in a way your paranoia has probably already saved you.

I see your point, and I absolutely support your right to carry a belt fed machine gun to the shitter if you so choose, I would probably just look for a new place to live.........or possibly go completely nuts and start a vigilante rampage, either one. |
