A private association is putting out a call for volunteers, armed or unarmed, to provide outdoor security for Trump supporters traveling to the president’s campaign rally Friday night in Tupelo, Mississippi. The group “Oath Keepers,” which calls itself nonpartisan, said in a notice on its website that it needs help “keeping the rally attendees safe” after a recent Trump rally in Minneapolis at which some of the president’s supporters were harassed and assaulted on their way to and from the arena.
“We generally use both armed and unarmed volunteers in our security operations, so if you have a CCW [carrying a concealed weapon permit] valid in Mississippi, that may be very useful,” the group’s statement says. “If you don’t, please volunteer anyway since we will also have a role for unarmed volunteers.”
Local and state law enforcement agencies, and the Secret Service, coordinate in providing heavy security at presidential campaign rallies.
Oath Keepers said it is not affiliated with the Trump campaign but has protected rally-goers at three other Trump events this year in New Mexico, Minneapolis and Dallas. The association has former police and ex-military personnel among its membership, and says it’s needed to protect citizens from street violence by antifa and other leftist groups.

If he holds a rally in the tri-state area, will fat, middle aged ex boxers be considered for security? :)
Personally, I would be wary of utilizing CCW holders. Even though I have one - it may not be the place.
Did they even show in Minneapolis? A lot of beatings on youtube, all by leftists on rally attendees.
Probably. I doubt that I’d scare Antifa in my wheelchair.
I don’t see why not!
Heck, if he has a rally here on the Red Neck Riviera, I will see if they consider fat, middle aged, ex-karate guy with three ruthless German Shepherds (Mama Dag and Petunia really aren’t ruthless, but Max is!).
Antifa are terrorists, and I would feel uneasy around them even if I was wearing leftist gear - what if I didn’t show enough support to suit each individual thug’s taste?
Oath Keepers are real Americans. You could peacefully advocate for pretty much any position in front of them and not be in any danger at all. They are the opposite of Antifa.
Nonsense, Vet, we’ll attach your chair to my three shepherds, then you have a chariot pulled by a Cerberus!
I have seen a fat, middle aged boxer scare the living **** out of tough guys and fully armed police. Just because there might be some fat over the muscle, doesn’t mean the muscle, and the knowledge on how to use the muscle, isn’t still there.
There would be some mighty surprised folk.
While I hold my 14lb Schnauzer. LOL
Not a good idea. This is exactly the origins of the SS. Is this what we want?
Chuck Zito knocked John Claude Van Damme out while sitting at dinner with one shot.
They’ll never see it coming :)
Your three ruthless German Shepherds outrank any individual man, I don’t care what his skill level!!
Yeah, one Lefty gets shot and killed while attacking Attendees and they blame POTUS Trump. Doesn’t matter if it’s caught on Video showing the Perp causing the violence.
Two Proud Boys were just sentenced to Prison for defending themselves against some Antifa Types. The Media joined in making it look like they instigated the violence.
Own the Media, own the Optics.
HAHA!! What a mental image, boy, I would love to see that :D
You know the Shnauzer would immediately take charge of the Shepherds too.
I would suggest non-lethal tasers instead. They are easily available on the Web. Check out Knuckle Blasters which can’t be taken away in a scuffle.
Just to clarify, MS is a Constitutional Carry State.

She is a bossy little bitch, but we love her.
