paranoid in the context most anti gunners use more or less means "You are taking precautionary measures that I cannot understand, so it must be wrong, as I feel myself as the standard of reasonable peope and I wouldn't do it."
Sadly they fail to realize the coin reads the same on our side too....everyone thinks their right. True paranoia is when you look for things around every corner without reason to....preparedness for disaster is not looking for things around every corner, it's being sure that when something actually comes screaming around that corner, you have the time to react instead of sitting there with your jaw dropped.
We Floridians do the same thing, it's called "Hurricane preparedness"......5 years and I've had no need to use my supplies, but I am NOT going to get rid of my 2-week food supply (my req. is 10-year shelf life with no refrigeration or better) anytime soon as it may save me and my loved one's hides one day. I spare no expense in hurricane preparedness, but nobody blinks an eye about that.
