I can't imagine what it must be like going through life being afraid of everything all the time and also having a fantasy in which you get to kill someone.

My neighbor is "that guy."
Doesn't leave his house or even answer the door without a gun.
Very nice guy, just terrified of... stuff?
My brother has a neighbor who regularly yells crazy rants at the neighbors on his lawn while holding his gun in the air. The cops have been called and claim they can do nothing. This would be in Atlanta, so I'm not exactly shocked...
It's not fear. The guy in the picture walks around with guns because he wants to, not because he's scared. He wants to be challenged. He wants to be able to pull out his gun and shoot someone.
These people are not "scared" as much as they want to be feared.
They want an excuse to kill. That's it.
I'm surrounded by it in Texas and you're 100% correct. These guys fetishize their guns and the idea of killing people. You'll note after being around a 2A nut that they aren't discussing things that worry them. Most of the language that you hear is along the lines of "I wish they would" or "I'd pop a motherfucker for trying that".
They are genuinely looking for an excuse to legally murder someone and you should not feel safe around them.

They want to be feared because they live in fear themselves. That's why these assholes keep murdering people for pulling into their driveway by mistake. They're terrified all the time. Conservative media has made them fear everything and they think the only answer is to show that they're tougher than everyone else.

Science disagrees with you:
"Specifically, the research shows that people with conservative tendencies have a larger amygdala and a smaller anterior cingulate than other people. The amygdala -- typically thought of as the "primitive brain" -- is responsible for reflexive impulses, like fear. The anterior cingulate is thought to be responsible for courage and optimism. This one-two punch could be responsible for many of the anecdotal claims that conservatives "think differently" from others."

A friend that I’ve known for like fifteen years - I found out last year that he has guns. He just doesn’t ever talk about them.

Ignoring the gun violence crisis in America aspect, people who make 1 single thing their entire personality are so annoying. You like guns, whatever. But you now have to always be wearing one and even your clothes need to always feature guns!? Trying to talk to this dude about anything else must be exhausting...
Don’t worry, I’m sure he’d be happy to talk about his political views.
SLEEPY JOE HAD TOO MUCH ENERGY! HE'S ON THAT CHINA 5G VACCINE! NANCY PELOSI! COMMUNISM! MURICA WENT DOWN THE DRAIN WHEN BROWN PEOPLE! ANTIFA DID 9/11! BLACK LIVES MATTER IS IRANIAN PSYOPS!
We all know his politics lol
Also the eternal question, "does this truck make my penis look small?"

Guns = 3, Ass = 0
That's some negative ass if I've ever seen one. The man is owed some ass.

He keeps it clenched shut at ALL times in case one of those GAYS gets the drop on him. He can shoot the back holstered gun to blow their cock clean off before it gets too close to his precious hole.

You can't convince me this guy doesn't have some form of mental illness.
I carry when I can. But concealed inside the waistband like a responsible fucking adult. You're absolutely right
I always see open carry as a large target. IF I was the bad guy, I would go for the people with visible guns first.

That much paranoia only raises the red flags.
This isn't paranoia. A paranoid gun "enthusiast" wouldn't put a gun where someone can steal it and shoot him in the back of the head.
This is rank stupidity.

Just remember that guy is like 5 times more likely to kill himself (or accidentally kill someone else) than to use one of those guns in a legitimate self defense scenario...
But he's even likelier to have a heart attack than either of those. If he really wanted to protect himself he'd do some exercise.

I hope that back gun isn’t loaded. If so, he would be the easiest person to rob on earth.
Of course it's loaded. Carrying around an unloaded gun is unAmerican!

Nobody going to point out the ridiculous key ring? OK, maybe he needs all those keys for his job. Why the hell would you carry that around?!
This poor man desperately needs to feel important, needs to look important.
And for those of you not into gun culture, this guy is a wild outlier. There's nothing practical or sensible being rigged like that. You won't find anyone teaching or condoning this sort of thing, only as an example of what not to do.
There's no way that many keys fit into his pocket. So he has no choice but to carry them everywhere. His only other option would be to clip them to his belt, but that would leave less room for guns.

That guy's entire personality is just gun.
The more the guns, the bigger the coward.
Barely survived. We soy boys are tough.
Real men open carry by walking around shirtless with a gun gaffer taped to their shoulder blade so if a terrorist ever tells them to put their hands behind their head they can pop one off when they don't expect

Wondering if people like this were bullied or abused early in life? That they are now trying to get back some semblance of control, and maintain an ongoing ability to get revenge or get back control that they never felt as a child? ….. Besides that, those jeans are about to drop for sure!
That, or they were just the bullies themselves and want to continue feeling that sense of power in adulthood (and couldn't make it as a cop, the usual path for that).

This guy is easily 6'-7" tall and needs to carry 3 guns around to feel safe
Three... that you can see.

At least that’s a revolver he’s packing. He’ll be limited to six shots with that before reloading, and not some ridiculous number like nine or sixteen.
After all, if you cannot solve a non-military, non-combat problem with six shots or less, you are unlikely to solve it with more.
Left and right holster don't look like revolvers, and he's probably gotta backup stuffed under a fat roll upfront.

Oh how I wish these people would actually experience the armed showdown with the US government they all crave. I need that drone footage. Oh the juicy videos from 1000ft above of Skeeter and his J6 posse disappearing in a cloud of smoke like ants.
Nah, just a single encounter with a robber or something.
Either they show their true cowardliness and run away like everyone else, get shot by the robber because they will down anyone with a gun first, or get shot by the police for being confused as the criminal.
They all have this idea that they are some super hero that will save the day, but the chance of that happening is extremely low.
