Ready-made fiefdoms.
Know the area, command an armed, trained, organized body of men; and they've already won a popularity contest.
There's some local lore about a sheriff in northwest Colorado sometime during the 90s (Moffat County, IIRC).
Had some problems with a large group of bikers passing through who didn't feel the need to respect the law.
Put out some calls for assistance to address the issue.
A few hundred ranchers showed up with rifles.
The bikers departed without incident.
A biker is a much easier target than a prairie dog.
