I was doing some thinking the other day. I was trying to think like the bg who wants to invade your home and do you harm. I figured that that there were two times when the bg could enter your home more easily undetected: at night when you are asleep and while you are bathing.
At night when you are asleep should be obvious, but think about when you are bathing. Most people follow a fairly strict routine which could be followed or predicted after a few days of observance. Many bathrooms have only one way out so you could be effectively cornered in the bathroom. The sounds of running water could mask the sounds of entry and approach. Being nude could put you at a mental disadvantage in a confrontation as well as being fairly certain you will not have any weapons on your person.
No doubt many here would advise a stainless steel .357 revolver of some type, but what about ss autos as well. Could these guns and ammo stand up to the higher than normal humidity? Where would you keep these guns ---drawer under the sink? taped to the back of the toilet tank? carefully hiden in a pile of towels? on a rack behind the shampoo? Maybe a howling naked guy running at the invader with a club (something better than a toilet plunger) or sword would be more unsettling?
Am I paranoid or just overly prepared?
