I know you read the title to this video and immediately thought, What the hell?
But think about it. When you’re at home, when are you the most vulnerable?
Of course, when you’re sleeping. But what about when you’re in the shower, horribly singing your butt off?
Or when you’re sitting on the toilet after you forgot you were lactose intolerant and drank that mega-sized sonic milkshake.
Imagine hearing criminals breaking into your home while you’re in the shower and your gun is in the other room.
Now you’re butt naked, covered in cheap body wash and three in one shampoo, trying to do this weird running, walking so you don’t slip and bust your butt on your way to your gun, which is on your nightstand.
Well, even worse, imagine being on the toilet mid biological data dump and you hear criminals breaking into your home.
Now you’re trying to run with your pants around your ankles because you were so consumed with getting to your gun that so deep in the Chronicles of Narnia that you call your house, you forgot to pull your pants up.
All I’m saying is maybe having a gun at the ready when you’re most vulnerable makes the most sense.
It’s clearly a no brainer when it comes to sleeping. Just look at the way we sleep at night.
In the event criminals try to invade our home, if we’re willing to cosplay like we’re John Wick while we’re sleeping, why wouldn’t you at least keep a gun in your bathroom to be ready to go in the event you get unwanted visitors while you’re dropping kids off at the pool?
Look, I’ll be the first to admit it on face value. The idea of keeping a gun in your bathroom can seem a little odd.
But as the saying goes, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. At least it was for famous rapper Bun B.
So why did I bring this story up? Well, what the news didn’t tell you was that Bun B was on the toilet when all of this was happening.
As crazy as it sounds, these things happen more often than realize, they’re just not covered by the media that much.
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you’re most vulnerable.
The only thing we can do is try to put ourselves in a best position to deal with life when it happens. So maybe it isn’t so crazy to keep a pistol on your bathroom countertop or next to your toilet.
Because as I just showed you, it’s not like these things don’t happen.
Now I know what you’re thinking, if people find out I keep a gun in my bathroom, they’re going to think I’m paranoid.
And they may be right. But as John Shirley once said, paranoia can be instructive in the right doses. Paranoia is a skill.
In case you’re wondering, yes, I do keep a gun in my bathroom. And yes, I have a teensy weensy bit of insecurity that people will think I’m crazy or paranoid.
But if something does happen and someone breaks into my home while I’m on the toilet or in the shower, there won’t be any waddling and almost bawling because my pants are wrapped around my ankles. I won’t be covered in cheap body wash and three in one shampoo.
Well, because I don’t use that stuff, I use the good stuff. Expensive, overpriced designer shampoo and body wash.
But I can’t think of anything more empowering than having the most effective tool to protect you and your family.
