Today I did a google search for a Militia in the State of Kentucky. I was surprised to see one whose description was not white supremacist which is what the media has saturated my mind with.

I would really like to get involved with a Militia and not one that is Federally regulated. I am not right wing and I try to be level headed. Are you a member of one, do you know anyone who is, and overall what are your thoughts?
 
I'm a member of defence league, under the DoD command, so yes.

ADDED: there are also others here who call themselves a militia and preach "white supremacy" and other neonazi crap. I can't call that a militia, but a miserable bunch of sorry A-holes. Every time I see one my foot starts to itch.

When is a militia a militia?

every male between the ages of 18 and (I think) 41 is in the milita to be technicle about it.

As far as organized milita no I am not.
 
Mine is federally regulated as in active duty military. In Texas we also have the Texas Guard. This is NOT the Texas Army National Guard. This is a state militia that is not beholden to the feds yet is quite well organized and only operates as a unit within the state. They conduct missions such as crowd control and security at county fairs, disaster relief assistance among others. And no they are not a bunch of racists trying to overthrow the feds despite whatever you saw on CNN.

There are many other independent militas in Texas as well but they vary greatly in level of organization, skill and purpose.
 
"The militia of the State of Arizona shall consist of all capable citizens of the state [between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years], and of those [between said ages] who shall have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, residing therein, subject to such exemptions as now exist, or as may hereafter be created, by the laws of the United States or of this state."

Well, back about 10 years ago, my friends and I had the misfortune to camp next to the "headquarters" of the Kentucky Militia at Knob Creek.

They were pretty much okay the first night. The second night, they had this "shortwave broadcaster" fellow show up, and start whipping them into a frenzy about "mud people," and the like.

Now, this sort of irritated me. I distinctly fuzzily remember offering to whup their racist butts, collectively or singly, and receiving no takers. Of course I had Jim Beam on my side, along with two friends with ARs...

Last I heard, their head guy was going down over taxes, since he decided he was smarter than the government, and didn't have to pay in.

I also don't think that they're allowed at Knob Creek anymore. I do know that the folks who get in, and start spreading racist literature, etc., are asked to leave. Now.

Do NOT mess with Hawk.
 
In the "unorganized rabble with guns" sense, yeah.

I've always wondered what would happen if someone spotted me carrying and asked if I was a cop, and I said "no ma'am, I'm with the militia." :confused:
 
When I was in the Police Academy I was accused by the others as being in the Militia. There were only two of us from Southern Illinois in the class. We talk about guns to each other and the guys in our class branded us as militia since we had guns other than shotguns for hunting.

Thanks to the media, that's what most anti-gun folks think of when they hear the word 'militia'. :barf:
 
I don't mean to hijack, but I have a quick militia related question. I often see rifles mentioned, and "bring magazines", but is there generally a list of approved weaponry? For example, a guy with little cash aside from member dues shows up with a 91/30 and a spam can of ammo, can he qualify at the range that day? I'm guessing their are other drills that require a semi-auto with a 20 or 30 round capacity, am I right?

I'm also guessing most militias (judging by what I've heard through the grapevine) would accept the guy with the Mosin and encourage him to save up for a semi-auto so he can eventually participate in all activities, not just the charitable work and physical drills.

Any info is appreciated. One answer is fine, as again I don't want to hijack the thread.
