This is a fairly simple question. There should be some interesting answers.
I know this will be different for each person, but somewhere there will be a line that once crossed someone can be deemed “paranoid”.
In YOUR opinion, where is that line?

In my opinion, anyone that takes a gun in a baggie (so it won’t rust) into the shower has crossed the line some time ago. But that’s just MY opinion.:p

Then there’s the family story of one of my Uncles that was greatly concerned with getting mugged, so he worked out scenarios and practiced how to defend himself if it ever happened.
Sure enough, one late night walking home, a shadow loomed up behind him. With lightening fast reflexes he spun and delivered a haymaker on the assailant.
The outcome was he had to go to the doctor to have his hand put in a cast and Grandpa had to put the mailbox back on its post.:D
 
Interesting philosophical question, but not exactly a legal topic.

BTW, great story about Grandpa and the Mailboxing.
