<DIV><BR>What's paranoid about locking up when you're out and being ready to defend yourself when you're at home when there is a known burglar in the area? Being prepared is not the same thing as being paranoid. If someone is crazy enough to break into your home while you are there, you can go ahead and classify that as a situation fraught with danger, in which case having some means to protect yourself might be called for. There are plenty of reasonable scenarios where a would-be burglar happens upon a member of the household when he thought the place was empty that could end up very badly for the person he stumbled upon. If the burglar knew you were at home and invaded the home anyway, then you've definitely got a problem if you are happily unarmed.<BR><BR>Better to have that gun when you need it than not. If guns frighten you, which I find hard to believe because of your military background, then at least pick up a good
aluminum baseball bat.<BR><BR>Do you think I'm paranoid because I keep a set of jumper cables in my trunk in case my battery dies and I need a jump from a kind stranger?
