In this society, there tends to be a misguided general feeling of safety, especially for those of us living in relatively peaceful suburbia.
It's imperative to always be prepared for danger. When someone opens the gate between my house and my neighbor's, I always check to see who it is. If someone is driving around looking at houses or acting suspiciously, I usually observe them.
I plan on eventually getting a guard dog and perhaps an alarm to supplement my firearms.
I do have trust issues and can be paranoid but that is a good thing (and it suits me well since I plan on becoming a LEO). Situational awareness means survival.
