It comes to the point where he glares at my other guy friends, or interrupts them to take me somewhere else. I feel like he is my father, always behind me to make sure no one weird touches me. It doesn't bother me that he's being so protective, but it worries me sometimes. He also seems to be constantly jealous; everytime i even glance at a guy who passes, he struggles to regain my attention, and looks annoyed afterward. Plus, when he kisses me he can be violent, as if he were afraid of losing me because he wasn't giving me enough attention, Some days i am even afraid he will shoot someone who tries any funny business on me. Is my boyfriend being overly protective?

That is far to protective. A certain level is good but you still have to be an independant person. This is more of an insecurity issue on his side. I consider myself very protective but i know when I'm needed and when I'm not. This could go down a bad road if he doesn't change. The last thing you need is him attacking one of your guy friends. Tell him he needs to trust you and back down otherwise you will have to make the choice whether to take the risk with him and your friends or end it before something bad happens.
I beleive his intensions are good, they are just too extreme so try to talk this through with him.
