Does me having a gun and being over protective a mental issue?!
Question:
i actually sleep with a gun and listen to my police scanner at night,i look out the window alot and if i hear a slight noise i wake up and look around with a gun in my hand ready with a gas mask in my closet,i come home from work and look through my rearview mirror more then the front ,making sure im not being followed, i never had anything truamatizing happen so im not sure if this is normal.

Well.. a few points to make..
First off, I wouldn't say you're too paranoid, just a little - and thats not really bad. I, too sleep with my pistol next to my bed in my nightstand. Its not that I feel like someones going to break in and kill me at any given moment, its just a sense of security. Like a locked door, or an alarm system.
Secondly.. I think humans have had their lives made very, very easy in the past hundred, two hundred years. I think that to some degree, we *want* something to happen.
I think that its natural, its exciting, its adrenaline pumping. We don't get to use our adrenaline, our survival instincts or our basic primal skills any more - and we miss it.
Worse case scenario: You're prepared. And theres nothing wrong with that.

well naw ur just overprotective.u a cop huh?
Sounds like paranoia.
Sounds normal to me.
You may want to talk with a counselor.
I believe you know the answer. Please seek counseling and best of luck.
i think you are very protective but thats good in your case
More people should be looking over their shoulder, I use to sleep with my gun when my hubby worked nites but now since he's back on days I know he'll grab the gun and blow anyone away trying to break in. He's up and looking at the slightest noises.
yes, it is normal to do that but maybe you are a little bit over, over protective. you are probly just worried that something bad will happen and you are just being prepared for it if it does even happen. most likely it wont happen.
No. This is not normal. AT ALL!
Get rid of the gun. Just lock your door at night, and get a BASIC SECURITY SYSTEM with an alarm. Thats it. The chance of your house being broken into is less than one 10th the chance of you being in a serious car accident.
So go get a helmet for when you drive.
yeah, u sound pretty paranoid to me, but just because ur paranoid doesn't mean their not after you
u just need to calm down. no1 is gona rob u or nothing. havn a gun is no prblm but u cant be all scared. u mite need to check it out though
depends if you are a drug dealer or not..or if you live in a big city where there is a lot of crime..if neither of those is the case then yes you are probably a little bit overprotective of things.but as long as it is not harmful to anyone then why should it matter?.you are the one who chooses to live that way
SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE ALOT OF ANXIETY AND PANIC DISORDER ISSUES WHICH IS NOT UNCOMMON IN THE WORLD TODAY, SEE YOUR DOC AND HE WILL GIVE YOU MEDS TO HELP WITH YOUR ANXIETY.
Maybe you lead a double life. Perhaps you've done some terrible things and your subconsious won't let you recognize them. You're probably afraid you'll get caught.
STOP listening to the police scanner at night! It will cut down on the paranoia that u are experiencing. I dont think its normal to sleep with a gun.I think u are a cop like Ice man said..u might b worried someone is going ot come hurt u because of your job.just a quess.
I'd say your behavior is a little obsessive. I wouldn't say you're crazy but I'd get some help if it gets any crazier.
you are indeed overtly paranoid, but it's ok.. perhaps a little therapy is in order.. maybe you have ocd or something. just don't do any drugs, especially meth.
Only if you use the gun in a threatening manor.
i don't know if you have a mental issue, but please think of your family's safety with a loaded gun in a half asleep person's hand.
i don't know if you have children or are married, but imagine you wake in the middle of the night and it's your child coming to you b/c they had a bad dream. you don't realize this and accidentally shoot them. or it's your spouse coming back from the bathroom.
i grew up in a house full of guns, but there was protocol involved. they were NEVER loaded in the house, etc.
it does sound like you have a bit of paranoia and i'm concerned b/c if you allow it to, it can take over your life. it sounds like this already has started to b/c of some of your comments.
perhaps if you tried talking to someone, like a counselor, about your anxiety of someone following you home and the gun and gas mask, they can help you get some control over it.
take care.
Babe it is not normal.You need help,go see a Doc. You don't want to live your life like that.
I DON'T THINK THIS IS NORMAL AT ALL! It's not at all necessary to be this over-protective. And not to mention-it's also very dangerous. Suppose you hurt someone you really love. I suggest that you get counseling to help you overcome your paranoia.
No be safe then sorry.
No this is ok..sometimes I get like that too. I think the way the world is today you can enevr be too prepared.I think it is cool you have gas masks too! :) Just dont let it turn into something that takes over your life..you can live and functiona nd have your little quirks if you want to!
I think that more people should look in there rearview mirror!I think that it is slightly unnormal,but not much!You could check in with a counsaler,though!
sry bout' spellin'
no my bro in law is like that too. its good to be protective no such thing as over protective you don't want to put your guard down.
