Militia: a word which has been twisted into something that has an entirely different meaning from when our country was founded and now with its every utterance, spits on the graves of those who died in our nation's birthing. Thanks to the Clintonite media after the Oklahoma City slaughter, just the mention of it conjures up images of rednecks dressed in camouflage, running around the woods with plans to kill everyone isight. A fringe element with who knows what on their minds -- but you can bet it is evil. It is a group that has little in common with the farmers, shopkeepers, and mechanics of Lexington, Concord and Battle Road.
But what really is the militia? According to United States Code, Title 10 USC § 311 -- Militia: composition and classes:
(a)The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b)The classes of the militia are-
(1)the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2)the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

I’m in OH.
Coincidentally, I was just on the OHMR site; http://ohmr.ohio.gov/
I had no idea such an organization existed. Looks very interesting although the info on the site is pretty vague. Anybody here a member?
I’d have to lose a few lbs to qualify.
“(The feds are quick to “nationalize” state National Guard units, which I think is just a reserve branch of the Regular Army.)”
You are correct and that is why the liberal argument that the 2nd Amendment only applies to the NG is false. This argument says the NG is the modern equivalent of the colonial militia. It’s part of that dynamic constitution thingy. Therefore, the 2nd amendment only guarantees the right of the states to form the NG and not an individual RKBA.
The reason this is false is that the FF wanted a militia independent of federal control. The second reason is that USSC ruled (Dukakis v SecDef) that the federal government exercises plenary powers over the NG, ie, the NG is just a branch of the reserves. Something cannot be independent from something that has plenary powers over it.
Question:
What about women who haven’t previously been in the military?
Is there any info applicable to that?
And what about women between 45 and 65?

Can’t hurt. Took me two heart attacks to finally pull my head out of my butt and get in shape. Not fit enough to take on a 20 year old commando, but I could give the average Joe Sixpack a noogie that would make him cry for his mama.
I'm 51, started walking everywhere not long after 9-11 and now walk at least 20mi/wk, also reinvigorated my MA practice, which is just as well, since in the 90's I used my hands on a would-be robber and lost my gun privileges as a result. Robbery unsuccessful, he's innocent, put an innocent man in the ER, I'm guilty. So I guess that disqualifies me from the regular militia (but I'd get good grades at sentry removal).
My regular proverb is if exercise is a part of your life anyway, practice an exercise that just might save your behind someday.
BTW last I heard my "victim" went to a state pen with his brother for holding up a package store. Ain't the justice system grand.
Yep. You see those signs about carrying an ax, bucket and shovel in the woods? You think that’s just so you have them to give to somebody else?We had a bad forest fire years back and one of my buddies was driving in the woods. He was mobilized to fight the fire. There’s too many people making money fighting fires these days, but if it gets bad enough, the government can grab you and make you work.
More recently, it was the unorganized militia that thwarted the Al-Qaeda hijackers of Flight 93 over Shankstown, PA on 9/11/2001.
It shouldn't have, no militia or anyone who had ever been in a militia, was involved in that. It had nothing to do with militias.
I remember this guy, he was an exciting State Guard commander in Texas, until they booted him.
Many thanks chrisser, I will check it out then.

It can be brutally wrong sometimes, but it’s better than most. Glad the punk is segregated from the rest of us now.
Seems you’re making the best of it FRiend.
That’s a great post right there.
Thanks for posting.
You’ve got a point. Since the late 1700s medical science has significantly increased both general health and the average life span ...
