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.
Someone could just pull this guy’s own back-gun and plug him at the grocery store. Looks like he could barely reach it without cramping up his old man arms. Though I assume he has to remove it before sitting in his truck all day.
You realize that people can lie to themselves and others and often rationalize reasons for their actions that are not the real reasons for their actions right?
I think there’s an element of fear, too. The ones I’ve heard from are absolutely certain that they WILL be attacked. Someone WILL invade their home, and they will have to defend themselves. It’s not “if”, it’s “when”.
I assume these are the people that shoot someone who pulled into the wrong driveway by accident.

It’s still fear. They’re just hiding their fear behind machismo. Like bullies always do.
