This hand has everything you want from a preempt. A good suit, distribution, no defense.
Except for the good suit, distribution and no defense.
To me, this is insane. But I am sure that to many posters on these Fora it is a routine preempt.
Uggh.

I do think it insane at any other colours, or in 2nd seat.

But to answer your question, if you did it undiscussed, 3C is insane.

Would open a weak 2♣ if available, but not 3.

....at the institution where Ken resides, they periodically loosen the straight-jacket just enough for him to post here.

My comment? I don't like the bid with such a flat shape.

I love this comment.
But it is a bid harsh, preempting is not insane, just not my style.

I've played even more agressive (0-7 with a 5 card suit) without much problems, although thàt is in fact insane!
