What would be invloved in creating a legal Civilian militia. Registering with US government or State. If the new President wants to disarm the public maybe then we would have a leg to stand on.

    It just means you as a citizen have arms and practice. Like a club.

    Old Definition of the UNorganized Militia is: Male, over 18, below 65, bearing arms. I are one.

    And that we all are.

    Unfortunately any reference to a civilian militia today is associated with neo-nazis, racist homegrown terrorists, and fringe gun nut lunatics.

    Gone are the days when the government or local law officials will request qualified civilian volunteers to lend assistance for the good of the nation or community.

    By Louisiana law, every male, between 18, and 67, is a member of the State Militia, providing they are registered with selective service, and physically able to serve.

    Gotta love a gun toting, open carry, pro-RKBA state.[8D] We even have an honest governor, for the first time in history.[:D] Now, if we could only do something about the Mayor of New Orleans.[V]

    Virginia Militia Law:

    ? 44-1. Composition of militia.

    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.

    I am an E-7 with the Virginia State Defense Force, assigned to the Black Horse Brigade:
