If it has anything to do with WRAM (Well Regulated American Militia), for the most part that group is a bunch of talkers, not doers. And now, to be a member of that site, they want money!! Sorry, but websites don't cost that much, nor does hosting. I'd stay well away from them.

Welcome to the Cave, Foxwell. In the future, please do not post the same link in multiple threads. We consider that "spamming". ;)

My two biggest problems with militias are that (1) they have 'way too many idiots in them, and (2) they draw a LOT of attention.

If you're going to do something dark and sinister, do it alone.
What do you know, that describes the early days of my sex life.

But to the truth in that post, if you are swimming against the current of the people in power, whatever you're doing is going to be considered dark and sinister by them whether it's actually evil or just contrary to what they think everyone should be doing. They have all the resources to hunt you down and squash you like a bug if you draw enough of their attention.

I'm not up to anything dark and sinister and don't think I ever will be. But if you are entertaining the idea of doing something wrong and trying to get away with it, you shouldn't mention it to a soul, no one.
And to do something extreme and at least have a slim chance of getting away with it would take a lot of time, "CASH" (no cards, checks, paper trail), research and planning. If I were one of the guys protecting the president, I'd worry more about the guy on a suicide mission.

Bitchslapped for blog pimping right out of the gate.

Not really the direction I was talking about. What I mean is that no matter how unimportant or harmless your own intent, just the fact that you are not doing the dipping bird with whatever current government administration thinks is the main stream, and you are also associated with a bunch of (However unintentional) attention whores some of whom might actually be up to no good, that's just a natural formula for a whole shitload of trouble.

Oh, you mean like my attending Tea Party events. ....I had forgotten about my ties to that terrorist group.

Yeah, hardly. If you've ever met militia types, you know full well that's apples and oranges.

Try telling that to aunt Janet and her hand-picked goon squad.

Back in the 70's I knew some pretty rough fellows....for real. I distanced myself from them.
The Tea Party I just threw in there because of what's-her-face calling them and veterns terrorist. Any one to the right of Mao/Stalin is a terrorist and considered to be a threat to the bunch in Washington now.

Seems to me that Foxwell is a hit & run poster.....

Hello All
I do have a WRAM page, but it is only because some members are also members of my militia, and some of them are active, courageous people, but I do understand your disconcern.
I am sorry about posting in two places, I screwed up and thought I had not picked the correct posting location.
I did in fact only join this forum to get feedback on my articles, from like minded people, and I apologise if that was an incorrect motive.

The thing is, if you post your article in full here and then include something about "if this intersts you I've got a bunch more at http:whatever" and you won't get dinged for blogpimping. Much. Maybe a little.

I don't question your motives. Many people come here for similar reasons. But please, join in the discussions. I THINK that you'll find that we have a multitude of topics that should interest you. :)

About a militia to join.
First who are the top 3 people in that organisation. For $25 bucks you can find out if they have any police records or unstable--DWI convictions lately etc.
Ask about what their purpose is, town defence or personal.
Are there any professionals in the group, fireman, EMT's , EX military with survivalist training.
Check the meetings, do they check out maps of the area for possible trouble and discuss different kinds of actions they could be valuable in helping.??------Or is this in fact a social group that just cleans their guns, drinks and beats their wives.?
Do they work with the local police friends to have some idea of hot spots in the area.
Do they insist all members have first aid training for them and family.? Do they insist all members have at least 50 hours of training with fire arms.??
Does this group do a back ground check on YOU.???
Does the group instill in the members that they are the last resort when something happens, first the police , then the National Guard, then the Military when all fails then and only then do they make a move.?
Local militias are there not just to shoot at what they perceive is an enemy, they are there to help the public as a last resort. They have to know where food is stored, where people can find shelter from an enemy or the weather. Where to find clean water, medical help for people in a circumstance that is unthinkable. They have to know the terrain to know how to safely evacuate 500 people to safe areas.
There are two within 50 miles of my area that I stumbled on when we belonged to a Sportsman Club. I overheard a conversation between two men in their 60's about the Militia of today that were as dangerous to the public as street gangs.
It was not from them I learned but others at the club. One never knows who belongs to the REAL MALITIA, but one must have a skill to get in. A desire to undergo training in stuff other then shooting their gun at something.
Using a weapon is the last thing they want to do however they are well practiced in that skill.
Choose a group carefully, or you may be the first to get killed in a bad situation.
