Paranoia as a hobby

Wednesday night is apparently gun night on the Outdoor channel. I don't normally watch the shooting shows, but they are good for entertainment now and then. In particular, the self-defense guys are entertaining. The level of paranoia is amazing. Yesterday, one of them was showing us how to check for bad guys hiding in the bathtub behind the shower curtain. Is this all an act for TV, or do these guys really live their everyday lives like this? As peteralway said on #filkhaven last night, "It's time to recognize paranoia as a legitimate hobby." Some people play music or build model rockets, others, more like this xkcd, only they go to Arizona and actually practice with real guns.
