he's full of shit.
his security detail would not have let him camp his front door with a loaded arsenal.
That's kind of what I was thinking in my other comment. In this man's version of events, there's no chance he had a security detail because they wouldn't let him do this stupid shit, but then if he didn't, he took one of the worst courses of action possible. But it's so unlikely that he didn't have Secret Service on him at the time that yeah, I'm led to conclude like you did that he's just lying his ass off to try to sound heroic.
What security detail? He wasn't even VP pick yet
Title 18 U.S.C.' 3056(a)(7) authorizes the U.S. Secret Service to provide protection for major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates.
He wasn't a vice president candidate until the RNC a week or two after Trump was shot at.
He was running against trump to be president. This was also before the RNC picked a candidate.
