Militia?

[stitchclimber]

What do you guys think about joining a non-racist, non-extremist militia? I've been looking into them. It makes sense. A group of trained individuals coming together to help a community in crisis (natural disasters, civil unrest, ect...)

All this talk of surviving, I kinda want to do some good as well as survive, partner with my fellow survivor.

Interested in hearing what you guys think. Are any of you in militia groups?

Thanks guys.

You can check out groups like Zombie Squad. They like to make light of "zombies are real" and ZHTF just like we do, but they are also a group dedicated to "survival" of yourself and of communities, plus they help out in the aftermath of disasters such as Katrina.

I'm not part of any, other than the American militia as defined by the US Code:

We have a militia in this area, all of it's members are convicted felons.

When it comes time to put my life on the line I prefer to pick the time and place if possible. I will fight with and for other survivalists but would not want to be under the control of an organized militia.

You mean there are such groups as "non-racist, non-extremist militias?" All the militia types I have run across (and not many of them; they don't seem to advertise) seem to be a cross between extremist Y2K survivalists and the Ku Klux Klan, with a dash of conspiracy theorists in the mix. The word seems to have pejorated to mean "gun-toting extremist nutcases," the same way the media uses the term "assault rifle" to symbolize 'longarm.'

I am aware that the entire adult male population is the unorganized militia of the United States, although the feminists would likely bridle at that definition. (Hey, I didn't write the Constitution! Take it up with Madison, ladies!) But that's not how the term is being used today. And as I said, the few I have met seem about a bubble off plumb, if you get my drift. Not all of them are ex-cons or have records, but none of them seemed fully sane by this society's definition.

during a natural disaster you don't need a gun you need medical training.
during civil unrest if i was a cop and saw some guy running around with a gun .
i would probably shoot him.

[stitchclimber]

gentleman, with all due respect I must say that I am surprised. Your perception of all militias being gun toting wackos seems to match the medias view.

I understand that some would rather go at it alone, and not take orders from others. But there are truly groups out there who believe in the 2nd amendment's Well Regulated Militia. They're aren't all anti-government skin head neo nazi y2k types. Many militia's work much like the states national guard,they're very patriotic, but they are not controlled by the federal government.

I think the term militia has gotten a bad rap from some certain types of people, just as certain guns get a bad rap from the media. I encourage each of you to do some research and broaden your horizons.

Just something to think about.

I wish that was true, unfortunatly mankind tends to breed a lot of low lives. Many will take the opportunity that a natural disaster provides to loot and rob. Look at Katrina and I saw it during Andrew. Helping others should be all of our priority but being able to protect them is also a reality. As for militias, the few I've met have been racist and extremist. I love the look on their faces when I tell them I'm Cuban.

Instead of a militia go and meet your neighbors and make a bond with them. Attend your church and help them where you can. Know the people that are around you and trust that they will help you like you would help them.

Many non-political and non-racist folks, seeing the coming troubles, form armed "Mutual Assistance Groups" or MAGs. They avoid the "M" word like the plague, due to reasons cited above - the term has been so ruined by the MSM and Ultra-left - it has a bad connotation in today's troubled world.

[ArkansasHunter]

Any way you look at it were to be upstanding citicens LOL And if you join a Milita group even if they all go to church when the doors are open you'll still be pegged a weirdo LOL.
Go for it if you want to but I'm not interested in joining one because I'm going it alone with family if a SHTF ever happens
Besides one of the militas might try to eat Herbert LMAO !!!

[just_a_car]

Don't you mean Herbert might try to eat them?...

[GlockMeister]

Well let's put it this way. If your name isn't on any list, shortly after joining a militia, it probably soon will be.

I'm with windwalker..

X2.. Haven't thought of that. Like others have said, i believe that any red blooded, gun toting individual is basically part of the militia. After Katrina everything went to crap. People were without communications, electricity, transportation, food, water, etc. The people in my area didn't all go ape shit, they were all helping each other in whatever way possible.

That wasn't the case with some of the scum in New Orleans, but it's always like that down there in the ghettos, they just didn't have the NOPD there keeping them in line for a few weeks and they ran around like a bunch apes robbing, luting, and what ever else they could get away with. Those people are the exception to the norm, and would become the enemy for the common folks militia in shtf times.

[GlockMeister]

Well in reference to Katrina, as you brought it up, it's in my opinion part of the reason for the delay, getting help in there, was due to lack of communication. If you can't communicate, where do you send it first of all. But, most knew what, 2-3 days in advance, to leave? I truly believe most that stayed thought they'd do a little looting while people were gone. My opinion. Some I'm sure stayed to protect their stuff/property from those people. While others, maybe couldn't leave. It also fell to crap because when they did get help, the help was more concerned, in my mind, of disarming them before anything else. I could be wrong.
I also heard the NOPD, just kind of threw the doors to the jail open and told them in it to just leave. Like I'd want to be disarmed knowing that right?

The only ones that turned over there guns, or that were told to or asked to from what I saw were law-abiding people. The pictures I saw weren't of any gang bangers handing them over, or getting tackled by 5 guys 4 times bigger then them like that poor little old lady did. But I digress.

I think it will still fall apart until we the people get so fed up, and do the only thing we're left with. And that's to fight back. They don't seem to care how we, THE PEOPLE, feel. They're trying anything and everything to either disarm us, make it hard to get ammo or find ways to legally take them from us. Like that BS new law that takes effect in Illinois on June 1st, 2008. They can pick a person who's been to a therapist, and say whatever, come take his firearms and it's up to that person to prove, if they ever can, that they're wrong. By then it's too late, his firearms are gone and they'll never see them again... From what I understand, I'm not a lawyer, I could be wrong, they're even taking it a step farther then the Federal Government did in that I thought I heard it will over ride the disability rule that the Federal Gov, now overturned and allows. The one where any decision in regards to disability or something, that they can't be denied or have them taken away in reference to anything pertaning to it or something..

If ones wants to start or join a militia, it is America, and part of what makes it America and makes it so great, is that one can actually do that. But I thought I'd point out, even though it is America and one can do it, someone will definately now be taking hard close look at you and you'll probably be put on a list, to be looked at down the road and watched a little closer. lol

All I can or could suggest is this; everyone has to stick together, no matter what, if they do that there would be no need for anything but. WE ARE THE PEOPLE, and we need to stick together. If that doesn't happen, then yes, I think we're all screwed.
