I'm not paranoid, but I am prepared. I live in the woods with very few neighbors, to my left it's 1 1/2 miles to my nearest neighbor. I can shoot any gun I want, when I want. Now I would be paranoid if I lived in a subdivision, close to other people with 12ga shotguns loaded with slugs and various other powerful guns. I'd be more worried about being shot by accident by a neighbor than a thief.
