On the other hand, they are quite useful for keeping water and sand out of the muzzle.

Tell me about it. It's especially true when they are your parents.
This is the convo I had with my Mom coming home after shooting on Tuesday nights.

Mom: "You're reloading your bullets aren't you? Do you know they'll track your movements, if you start buy explosive type materials such as gun powder?"

I just laugh at her. "Now a days, terrorist don't use gun powder to built bombs"

Mom: "You always have a pistol by your side and a knife in your pocket. You're at home, do you not feel safe here?"

"I carry everywhere I can. I try not to let them catch me with my pants down"

Mom: "Then you're paranoid."

"It's not paranoid. I look at this as more like well prepared."

This just drives me up the wall!

Paranoia is an excessive anxiety or fear concerning one's own well-being which is considered irrational and excessive, perhaps to the point of being a psychosis. This typically includes persecutory beliefs concerning a likely threat, or a belief in a conspiracy theory.
