Some places it's warranted and in others it's not. I would say most places in the US where people behave that way it doesn't seem warranted. Its funny, I live mostly in a third world country these days and even I had fear and trepidation about my first time coming here years ago but honestly it's safer than places I've lived in the US and in some ways far more free. Want to live off grid? Have a well, be off the electrical grid? Cool no problem. Want to build a structure? No permits needed if you own the land.
