The small hands guys are gun toting do-gooders. They really believe they are good guys with guns. They’re not aware of the consequences of their own action and how they quickly become part of the problem. Best example is the guy who was going to save people in a Walmart and ended up being killed because he missed one of the shooters was a woman. Darwin Award.
Working as I do with psychological pathology, one learns to recognize the tattle-tale looks and gestures that reveal those disorders. Observing most of the open carry freaks, it doesn't take a trained psychologist to know they’ve got issues. Healthy people's threat assessment alarms go off. Gun toting guys are living a dangerous fantasy in which people will die. They are wannabe cops and police. They actually believe because they think they are on the side of rightness, they are.
There is a testing instrument for us called the Rorschach (ink blot). It's a projective test which shows how people's minds are put together. What a lot of people don't realize is, projection is always going on. People project what they believe onto the world. They think they're being rational and objective and just seeing what's true and factual. They aren't. It's their fantasy. Especially what things mean.
And why are they that way? Who builds big thick castle walls, insecure people or secure people? Insecure. Where did that come from? Childhood. They have some kind of unfinished business growing up and they’ve drug it into the present. They are going to project all that anger, resentment and insecurity onto the situation. Pardon the pun, they're locked and loaded.
