Armed Oath Keepers patrolled the streets of Ferguson this past week.

This comes after St. Louis County officials, in violation of Missouri's open carry law, insisted that members of the group could not open carry long barrel rifles within the city last week.

St. Louis County Police chief Jon Belmar warned a number of Oath Keepers this past week that open carrying long barrel rifles would be a violation of the law.

So the Oath Keepers are holding a mass armed rally in Ferguson.
Free Thought Project reported:

Head of the St. Louis County, Mo. Oath Keepers group, Sam Andrews called Belmar out for his blatant disregard of the law.

"He (Belmar) was thumbing his nose at the legislature of the State of Missouri. It was like he couldn't give a crap about the Bill of Rights or state law."
Andrews told Red Dirt News that the march would be held in the next "couple of weeks," as a means of demonstrating the veracity of Missouri's open carry law to law enforcement.
