Well let me step up, I'm not a real good shot, I'm half crippled and deaf as a stump, but I'd be a kik azz PR and public coordinator.

That is if NH has a militia

there was one that encumpassed new hampshire and vermont, but I think it's pretty much faded in recent years. If anyone decides they are interested in initiating something though, I offer my services. No revolutionary stuff though, I want to be a benefit to the state, the people, and yes, even the police in major situations, I want to be seen as a posative force in the state rather than an oposition to it. I can think of a couple of situations over the years here in which such a thing would have been pretty usefull, possibly even saved a few lives.

I would probably have stayed out of that one, I guess it depends on what capacity you meant.
 I was thinking more the Carl dragar incident, guy who went on a shooting spree some years ago. Killed 2 state troopers who simply aproached him in a parking lot to serve a warrant, then proceeded to kill a news paper editor, a young woman who was his defense atorny, a couple game wardens and such. .Or a few disasters we have had, like the flooding downstate a few years ago.
 with times getting rough, things will be getting tricky, rioting etc, gonna be difficult for police alone to keep the peace. Im all for peacefull protest, god knows things SUCK and are deserving of protest, but what if people just start taking to the streets and arbitarily start wrecking havoc, like the los angeles riots. If such a group were around to assist keeping peace before it got too out of hand, it would be less likely that something like martial law would be instituted.

I have reason to think that if there had been a real militia there, those black masked thugs would have had another thing coming when they tried to disarm perfectly law-abiding citizens

Not to mention the cops shooting mentally disabled patients

The govt would have demanded the Militias arms I would be willing to bet from the stories I heard. Now what happens when the Militia refuses to surrender their weapons? Does the govt try to take them forcefully? and does the militia resist and fight back? What a mess this would be.

[xfahctor]

don't get me wrong, I don't want to be kissing official ass, but neither do I want to be seen as an anarchist group.

yeah i noticed that too
colonial marines are okay, check out hutaree while your at it

[JonTheSavage]

Who among you have seen "Defiance"? It just came out.

i know i posted it already, but i think it bears repeating. for anyone interested in militia info, Mark Koernke is an excellent source. Alex was having him on his show pretty regularly for a while, however Mark has his own show now. 5 hours a day, in fact. 2 hours in the morning, and 3 more in the evening. the show runs on The Micro Effect in the morning, and on Live 365 in the evening.

one of the members here, chakra71, also captures it and uploads a torrent to thepiratebay.org everyday. i actually prefer the torrents because he removes the commercials, what few there are.

I tried to contact two militias in my state,...both emails were returned undeliverable..

After reading and doing some serious thinking I must say each state should have its own militia.  It is legal and is backed by the constitution. 

Take Katrina for instance, if there was a well organized militia on hand half the people would not have died I believe.  Remember the police and emergency workers for the city took off running because they put themselves 1st.  This is the difference between a paid person and a volunteer.  A volunteer will never run.  You get real honest people who put country, and care for other citizens 1st and foremost.

Another reason a militia would serve a great purpose is for training for the average person who wants to learn about survival.  In today’s world people depend way to much on stores, hospitals, and food stores.  The militia can teach people how to be self dependent on training in each of these topics.

Just my thoughts, but they have merit.

This is a good thought. The idea of bottom up anything, will never go out of style. Instead of top down rule. The womb, the individual, the family, the neighborhood, the state, etc is sovereign. And a nation should lead and nurture her people that way. Not get in the way of it. It would be true for the market place, health care, or anything else, including defense. It should be obvious on a local level when those local militia would team up for a greater cause. Iraq and Afghanistan do NOT cut it.

[Triadtropz]

The reason for a well organized militia is so when the government becomes despotic like it is now,..It's our right to declare Independence..we just lost our roots, and have no militias..so the jackboots win easy...the govt is operating 100% outside the will of the people...how many people you know think Iraq is necessary? or bailing out the elite on the taxpayers back....the federal govt has become rogue and despotic..i'll declare Independence right here anyone else?...

[DireWolf]

It is now as was it when this country was fighting for its independence, every man / woman who owns a firearm is part of the Militia. It is our duty to fight tyranny, it is our right to protect ourselves and those we love and we can do neither without our firearms.

In order to function properly, as the founding father's intended, each state's militia would have to be completely autonomous from any government control.  All control would have to rest in the civilian's hands.  This would obviously mean private funding because the government isn't going to fund something it can't control even though I believe they should fund something like this.  I don't think, however, that a state militia with a lot of members would have any trouble getting funding.  A mandatory donation from each member would cover most costs, and I'm willing to bet that many small businesses would enjoy their tax break from donating the rest of the needed money.  In a perfect world the militia would have full access to all military hardware including but not limited to: anti-tank and anti-aircraft weaponry, tanks, jets, attack and transport helicopters, submarines, aircraft carriers, etc.  This would surely not fly with the modern public's view of how everyone with a gun in their hand who isn't a government agent is a bloodthirsty killing machine, so state militia's would most likely have to settle for full-auto weapons and possibly grenades.

Who gives a f**k.

Keep organizing, keep fighting, its going to take lots of us to get this shit down.

Make militia's, keep them offline.

Rules of Gunfighting

You may someday need to apply one or more of these
The absolute First Rule of a Gunfight, in Mark Moritz' brilliantly enunciated aphorism, is "Have a gun!" The rest will supplement that first rule....

1. Have a gun.
1. Preferably, have at least two guns.
2. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
1. "Why did you shoot only once? There's no additional paperwork for shooting someone twice!" -- Firearms Instructor P.O.J.D., MOS debriefing after a shooting.
2. Bring ammo.
1. The right ammo.
2. Lots of it.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.
5. Proximity negates skill. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun... and a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works every time. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket."
10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
1. "If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly."

12. Have a plan.
1. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
13. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
(Consequences of not enough of the above.)
14. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect your own flank.
15. Don't drop your guard.
16. Always perform a tactical reload and then threat scan 360 degrees.
17. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)
18. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
19. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
20. Be polite. Be professional. But... have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
21. Be courteous to everyone. Friendly to no one.
22. Your number one option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
23. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."
1. Nothing handheld is a reliable stopper.
24. Carry the same gun in the same place all the time.

This is the law:

* The purpose of fighting is to win.
* There is no possible victory in defense.
* The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.
* The final weapon is the brain.
* All else is supplemental.
