Home Defense question DO YOU HAVE A BATHROOM GUN.

Kahr carrier · February 5, 2003, 10:46 PM

ON occassion my 649 accompanies me to the bathroom . you never know sometimes .Do any of you have a Bathroom gun.

10-Ring · February 5, 2003, 10:51 PM

Bathroom gun? Why, so I can soil myself sooner?

No seriously, never thought about it

mec · February 5, 2003, 10:53 PM

yup- anything stainless that falls to hand. Been doing it ever since a local guy was in the bathroom shaving when a crazy guy crashed into the house. He had guns hidden in every other room in the house and in his car. He volunteered himself as a hostage/driver and lured the guy away from his family. Actually the guy was escaped from a local institution and thought the mafia was after him.

Our guy played into his dillusion until he had an opportunity to shoot him. Shot him right through the chest with one of the old non-expanding supervel 380 loads , missed everything vital and exited and the guy was out bopping around town again a week later.

I carry my 640 in my pocket at home, so yes I do have a potty gun.

Schuey2002 · February 5, 2003, 11:00 PM

I usually pack my Glock 19 around the house, but I don't have a handgun sitting in the bathroom, if that's what you mean..

Airwolf · February 5, 2003, 11:00 PM

My P99 or USP 45 usually accompanies me to the little boys room.

Most durable and moisture resistant of all my handguns.

I don't think it's strange at all to have your self-defense tools with you. Can you think of a more vulnerable spot than being in the shower or literally with your pants down?

Zundfolge · February 6, 2003, 12:18 AM

don't need one ... anyone breaking in while I'm on the potty will get a taste of chemical warfare ... a Chipotle buritto makes me more dangerous then Saddam

Soap · February 6, 2003, 12:19 AM

1911, full size.

I don't leave it in there, I normally carry it on my body.

dude · February 6, 2003, 12:27 AM

If I ever felt I needed a crapper-gun, I'd move!!

...................hell, If I felt I need to carry in my house I'd move

When I was a small kid, "Life" magazine ran a feature by Robert Ruark on the Mau Mau terrorist movement in Kenya.

I still remember a photo in it of a white resident sitting in his soapy bathtub...S&W .455 on a nearby chair or something. May have actually been a S&W .38/200. Been a long time and I was young then.

The article was titled, "Your Guns Go With You". Can you imagine "Life" running such a story today?

Lone Star
P.S. Yes, on occasion I do take a S&W .38 into the "private room"...don't take a .357 in there. The blast in the enclosed space would really blow the wax out've my ears!

MJRW · February 6, 2003, 12:58 AM

Ok, am I the only one expecting this thread to turn really vulgar really soon?

"Non gun" people occasionally visit these forums. Let's keep it clean, so they don't presume we're as uncouth as the media paint us. Please?

With some of the mall ninja hate spewing stuff I see here, I think a little bathroom humour is the least of our problems if a non gunner comes here....

Wildalaska: I think you build real nice guns , but I don't agree on your opinions of what is "hate" . I dont see it 'spilled' around this forum just righteous indignation on the appropriate posting places. Lonestar: Can I visit you if I take my motorhome to 'somewhere in SW' ?I'll bring lots of weird old guns and ammo!I'm pushing 60 so I aint a youngster and I like .455 Webleys and such.As long as they are 'shootin irons' not looking irons.

roscoe · February 6, 2003, 01:46 AM

I keep my CZ-75 in a tactical velcro quick-release handgun mount under the toilet lid, along with 3 extra magazines..

Lone Star · February 6, 2003, 02:04 AM

Gordon-

My schedule is pretty erratic, and for security reasons, I don't want anyone whom I don't know VERY well knowing where I live. I'm sure that you'll understand.

Please don't take this as a personal snub: I'm sure you're a nice guy, but unless we get better acquainted somewhere at a convention or something, I'd be uneasy hosting anyone I don't know.

On the plus side, I own rather few guns today, and they're all "practical, using" types. There isn't any collection to view; I just know a fair amount about guns and have some of the basic reference volumes, so can answer questions. I wouldn't have much to contribute to a "show and tell" session, and I'm busy these days trying to find a better job, anyway.

I do hope you'll understand, and not think me cold or inhospitable.

More like WILDMELTING ALASKA!!!!

, no need for bathroon gun , toliet chemicals ( vanish ect .. ) to take care of the job ! a little bleach in your eyes will take the fight out of you anyday .. not proud to say did it ,done it ,still hurts thinking about it I used to deliver the stuff in bulk .

Croyance · February 6, 2003, 03:06 AM

I keep a loaded gun in every room and the walk-in closet. I have no children, and put them away when guests are over. Unfortunately, no permenant bathroom gun. I was saving to get a gun as completely hard-chromed (interior and exterior) for that purpose, to withstand the steam from showering (or even direct contact. I also don't feel like smelling like Hoppes No. 9 and RemOil all the time.
Embarrassing to be caught pants down.

Ala Dan · February 6, 2003, 05:22 AM

My bathroom gun is a NAA 1-1/8" barrel .22 magnum.
You asked, "Why"? Cuz its always with me!

EXACTLY!

Don't pass go, don't collect $200, just get the hell out of Dodge if things are that bad where you live that you need to worry about a "crapper gun"!

Must be the same kind of guys that strap on their Glocks to sit in their recliners to watch LE shows on TV!

I have a 120 lb. German Shepherd that lets me know when anyone or anything is even close to my door. Time enough to complete and take action if necessary.

BigG · February 6, 2003, 05:29 AM

No, but I have a chemical weapon akin to nerve gas.

ruger357 · February 6, 2003, 07:25 AM

S&W 649 or Beretta 950.

M1911 · February 6, 2003, 09:30 AM

Whatever is on my hip at that time..

Kentucky Rifle · February 6, 2003, 09:50 AM

Ever since a friend told me how he felt as he was sitting on the throne and a hand with a gun in it came through the door, I've had a "bathroom gun". ~They may find me with my pants down, but they'll also find the "BG" in the hall. (On his back.)

You think a guy who routinely carries 3 pistols WOULDN'T have a bathroom gun?
