* 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.}}
* In the second book of F.M. Busby's ''Rissa Kerguelen'' trilogy, the title character had a look around her new husband's secluded cabin, coming to realize it was built for defense and had at least one concealed pistol in every room ... including behind a hanging towel next to the bathtub.
