I believe paronia is defined as an unreasonable fear. If you pull up to a gas station at midnight in a bad section of town and have a fear that you may be approached by a BG while pumping gas that isn't paranoia. If you stop by the local gunshop the next day to pick up two BUG's and 1,000 rounds of ammo soley for the next time you have to get gas that may be inching toward paranoia.
It depends on how much of your waking time you spend on guns and defense. If it takes over your life than you are paranoid. As long as your fears are based on a reasonable assumption of likely events then that is just being prepared. If you live in South Dakota and are prepared for hurricanes you are paranoid. If you live in Miami and buy a show blower you are paranoid. Reverse the situation and you have common sense.
