== Comic Books ==
* In ''[[Black Moon Chronicles]]'', Feydreiva the [[Hot Chick with a Sword|elven female warrior]] is spotted by Wismerhill while [[Outdoor Bath Peeping|bathing in a river]]
* [[Lucky Luke]] pulled this on [[Back-Alley Doctor|Dr.]] [[Snake Oil Salesman|Doxey]] once. It should be noted that Luke had hidden his six-shooters [[Rule of Cool|underwater.]]
* [[Blackhawk]] did this during his run in ''Action Comics Weekly''; riffing on the "never bring a knife to a gunfight" line from ''[[The Untouchables]]''.
Line 61:
== Literature ==
* In the ''[[Dragonlance]] Chronicles'', when [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|Silvara]] hears Gilthanas watching her, she runs over to her clothes. He expects her to cover herself, but she just pulls out her knife.
* Not a literal example, but in ''[[X-wing Rogue Squadron|Iron Fist]]'', two of the Wraiths on a mission are surprised to find that another Wraith brought his sniper rifle, even though the mission wasn't one that should have called for any sort of sniping. He offhandedly tells them that he takes it
* In ''[[The Stainless Steel Rat]] Wants You'' by [[Harry Harrison]], [[Gentleman Thief|James Bolivar DiGriz]] is showering at home on a peaceful planet. He hears his wife's scream and runs out without even grabbing a towel. He sees her get shoved into a car by two [[Mook|goons]] and pulls out a gun he keeps in his ankle holster. We can assume that the gun is waterproof. Needless to say, the neighbors are a little freaked out by a naked guy firing a gun.
* In the first ''[[Doom (series)|Doom]]'' novel, Flynn Taggart decides to risk taking a shower in the Phobos Lab infirmary. He takes the trouble to lock the doors and turn off the lights except for the one in the shower stall and keeps his trusty shotgun within arm's reach. Makes sense since the base is currently in the middle of an [[Alien Invasion]] ''and'' a [[Zombie Apocalypse]]. Luckily for Flynn, he doesn't get attacked while he's showering. {{spoiler|He gets attacked ''immediately'' after leaving the infirmary though.}}
Line 75:
* ''[[No More Heroes]]''
** Averted at a critical moment: Travis doesn't have his beam katana when {{spoiler|Ermen Palmer attacks him on the toilet}}, almost costing him his life.
** A nod to this is in the [[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle|sequel]], which upholds this
* Not a gun, but in ''The Grandstream Saga'', the hero sneaks onto a flying vessel in a treasure box. Said treasure box is delivered to the female leader's personal quarters. The hero sneaks out of the box at just the right time (said leader is taking a shower in the same room), said female leader notices and throws a ''battle axe'' across the room, barely missing his head and comes out of the shower with a towel holding a massive ''morning star''.
* ''[[The Operative]]: [[No One Lives Forever]]'': Cate isnt't attacked in the shower scene, but you can see she's ready for that contingency, as her handy revolver is right there.
