They’re probably under 24 hour surveilence by at least three different alphabet soup government agencies. Expect to see them in the news again shortly, probably before the election.
I was reading some of the comments at the end of the article. What I find interesting is how some of the posters appeared afraid of these people, while the bigger threats of Pelosi and Reid wander through Washington.
Drones—
PS: That spinning sound you hear…
(snicker)
Ya know … if they really wanted to get the federales goats, they should seek official recognition from the state.
Make anyone who has a CCW a member if they wish. Anyone with military training experience can apply to be a local commander and hold drills/training/bullshit sessions once a month.
Then issue them bare M-16 lowers marked Idaho State Militia. They can swap them into their AR clones as part of their training. Since it is a bona-fide state militia, no Form 10 is needed for the lowers.
I have to wonder how long it will be before somebody shoots down a drone, especially since the first places they are going to be used are not exactly “government friendly”.
Here in Florida, it is ILLEGAL to engage in paramilitary training.
So far, no challenge to a law that is clearly unconstitutional. After all, 2A recognizes the value of a peoples militia.
I suspect the law was put in place to clamp down on the Cuban exiles training to overthrow Fidel, back in the day.
Brad, here in my mind, it’s just plain dumb to draw attention to yourself. I would never join an active group like that.
If I am needed, all the training is already there.
The Porch Brigade will beckon if needs be.

Seems I heared’a similar militia group that got theyselves in a passel’a trouble with the authorities a while back. Somethin’ t’do with their arsenal of military-grade weapons and ammo. Gummint didn’t like that one bit an’ sent regular soldiers to grab up ‘em weapons. Militia warn’t havin’ none’a it, and a number of ‘em got shot for their trouble. Lot a gummint regulars got kilt, too. Happened over yonder ’round … oh, where was that dagnabbed … oh, yeah, Lexington & Concorde.
“if they really wanted to get the federales goats, they should seek official recognition from the state.”
Alabama’s one step ahead of y’all:

FB, if I am not mistaken, SC has one too.
Also, I used to be part of a militia unit — while at VMI:
The current Virginia Militia under Virginia Code § 44-1 states “The militia of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall consist of all able-bodied citizens of this Commonwealth and all other able-bodied persons resident in this Commonwealth who have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States, who are at least sixteen years of age and, except as hereinafter provided, not more than fifty-five years of age. The militia shall be divided into four classes, the National Guard, which includes the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard, the Virginia State Defense Force, the naval militia, and the unorganized militia.”
Permanent faculty members of the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) are normally offered commissions in the naval or unorganized militia of Virginia. The Superintendent of VMI is normally a Lieutenant General of the unorganized Virginia militia unless he or she is a regular US military officer of higher rank. The corps of cadets also serves as cadet members of the unorganized militia.
The corps of cadets can be called out for state service. While I was there, we went out and fought three forest fires.
Here’s their website:
Lightfoot Militia
Especially this:
What does it [our Unit Shoulder Patch] mean?
I have never seen a conservative point this out: the “militia” argument works in favor of private gun possession. In Revolutionary times, militias were formed from private citizens who brought their own guns. In order to bring a gun, you had to be able to own and carry (“keep and bear”) it. You can’t raise that kind of militia when the people are unarmed.
That being said, the people in the link seem like kooks to me.
Ohio, reporting.

Steve (#14): On the other hand, there wasn’t a Regular Army (or Navy, or National Guard) at the time (which could issue you a weapon).
RobB: Here’s a clip form their website:
“To be a member of the Ohio Defense Force Home Guard, you need to be a resident of the State of Ohio, at least 17 years of age, and have no convictions for a felony, or domestic violence. ”
Notice anything missing there?
The Second Amendment doesn’t say, “until we have a regular army.”
“To be a member of the Ohio Defense Force Home Guard, you need to be a resident of the State of Ohio, at least 17 years of age, and have no convictions for a felony, or domestic violence. ”
Notice anything missing there?
Actually, no. What is missing? They state that positions are available to accomodate physical disability. So it isn’t fitness.
Our own military accepts non-citizens. So it isn’t citizenship.
So, what is it??
Steve (#17): True, but opponents argue that the first clause is is the important one, and we don’t need a militia now, so …..
Brad: I was thinking “citizen”. I wonder if they’d accept Middle Eastern men for training.
