Shower time and personal/home defense...

Hello Friends!

I, like some of you, do my best thinking in the shower and this came to mind today. How would you protect/defend yourself while taking a shower? I mean, you are completely vulnerable due to several factors including not hearing an intruder break in at the time, lack of self defense weapons and being in a confined space. You can't keep any kind of firearm in your bathroom, the humidity would just destroy it after time so that option seems out. OC (Pepper) Spray is out. If you've ever been sprayed or had the misfortune of having your partner discharge his OC in a confined space then you know exactly why this is not feasible. So let's see what opinions, ideas, comments and otherwise brilliant things we can come up with for this situation. I mean, my only thought so far was the shear horror of seeing "Workinwifdakidz" naked in the shower would likely stop any burglar, murderer or rapist dead in their tracks. But, God knows I can't keep him around that often.

Game on! And. let's try not to thread jack this one because I think 99% of us could use this info in our everyday lives!

Cheers! :D

Bags.....?? Not bad! Just keep a spare sealed up in the bathroom with a knife near by? Nice!

A Glock in a Ziplock holds up well, as well - I kept Glock in the back of the shower, just up on a little soap rack so it wouldn't sit in any water that splashed back.

It was fine, but there were some signs of rust on the springs after a bit - a vapor bag would be a good idea.

Okay, so the insane defense? Basically, make him think you ingested way too much mercury and oven cleaner to be a stable, sane person. I feel your response was lacking WHAT you would be shouting at him.... :lol:

I've got a pistol in my bathroom.

Kahr CW40 polymer/staineless. Seems to hold up ok.

I don't see the point of a dedicated bathroom gun; I just set whatever my carry piece happens to be at the moment in reach of the shower. I haven't noted any rust problems yet.
