At this point in my life, I am never unarmed. I sometimes think my reflections on that day are one of the reasons.
I don't take a poop that I don't have a firearm within reach. Some might call me paranoid. I just refer to myself as prepared.
That's understandable & no, you're not paranoid, given the world today, but depending on where you are or where you live there are certainly a wide range of threat or alert levels.
There are just a schitt load of crazies of all types, for lots of reasons, in the world today....................overall much higher level that in the days of your story.
