John McAfee: I keep a gun in my hand while showering, sitting on toilet

John McAfeewants you to know that he never goes anywhere unarmed.

The controversial tech mogul, who claims to have been targeted by numerous bad actors in the past, is protected around the clock by his own security team, but should they be comprised, he'd be more than ready.

In a Twitter post this week, he revealed just how ready.

His sidearm never leaves his hand, he wrote.

Not when he sleeps. Not in the shower. Not when he's sitting on the toilet. Not even when he makes love.

"Puts a kink in foreplay but some women love it."

My sidearm is with me 24/7. More: my sidearm is ALWAYS in my hand when I'm on the toilet, sleeping and making love. Puts a kink in foreplay but some women love it. Accidental discharge? No. Some intentional when idiots tried to rush me. 2 women spontaneously orgasmed. Go figure. pic.twitter.com/LuLvdSuMka

And in a follow-up tweet, he shared that the Glock in the photo was just part of his on-person arsenal:

"I carry three sidearms. Hip, shoulder, ankle," he said.

Why pack so much firepower? Well, because a lot folks are out to get him, he says the U.S. government, violent cartels, corrupt Belizean officials, food poisoners and "six women" who tried to shoot him.

In the last few months, the cybersecurity pioneer and cryptocurrency evangelist has claimed to be on the run from Securities and Exchange Commission, which forced him into hiding. His life was in danger, he said.

Then again, it always seems to be in danger.

Irrational??? Google me. On the run in the Belizean jungle for weeks while 17,000 armed men were trying to kill me. Assistant Prime Minister of Belize hired hitman Eddie McKoy to kill me. Five failed attempts by the Sinaloa Cartel. 6 different women tried to shoot me. Google me.

In June, he was hospitalized. A photo showed him lying in bed with tubes sprouting out of his body. Something he ate, drank or inhaled was spiked with poison by "incompetent enemies," he said.

He has previously maintained that violent cartels have attempted to kidnap him on several occasions over the last few years, most recently in September. The cartels want to abduct him, he said, because of his connection to the murder of his neighbor in Belize in 2012. (He was a "person of interest" in the investigation.)

When he escaped from Belize to Guatemala, he says he was chased through the jungle by "17,000 armed men."

It's worth noting that the entire armed forces of Belize number 2,100 personnel.

Naturally, McAfee's tweets prompted a flurry of comments. Here are a few:

Disagree. The Remington 870 SP Marine Magnum is peak shower performance. pic.twitter.com/uB06QwQdNt

Gonna shoot him through Twitter?

My wife always says accidental discharge doesnt matter and it happens to everyone

Thank you for your support:)

Only six women have tried to shoot you???!!!!

we are truly blessed to live in the timeline where McAfee turned into a Cyberpunk 2020 character
