Okay, I know this is a sensitive topic but I'm wondering who here can decipher which is "legitimate"



Georgia Militia



or





Militia of Georgia



Both knock the other and say that they are the only true and legitimate militia.



So which is it?

Look at your voter registration card, it should list which militia district of Georgia you are in.  That is the only militia that is legitimate.

The "Georgia Militia" was an organized group that began at the
Revolution in 1783 and went until secession in 1861.



Is the current Georgia Militia the same organized group that was together as stated above?



Who knows but I believe you have two separate groups vying for the position of the official militia of Georgia.



IMHO all able bodied men, who possess a serviceable long arm and are willing to stand for the founders principles at all cost are in fact the militia.

Neither is associated with the Georgia Dept of Defense
The Georgia State Defense Force is part of the GaDOD, and claims to be the descendant of the original militia.

How can you descend from a militia and not be allowed to carry a gun?

I am my own militia and I have the belt fed weapon to prove it ;)  It is only semi though.

I second that!



I've looked into the GAsdf and decided that I would feel "out of place" in that environment.

We may need to reclaim our lost territory in North Georgia that is currently called "Tennessee". They have a bit of water known as the Tennessee River that used to run through "our" state. If the Feds rule that our use of Lake Lanier is illegal...then we may have a little problem.




roy d....to bad secession is such an unpopular notion

*snort*  hahaha I didn't realize that was the reference.  I could not figure out how Turner got brought in to a militia discussion via a mention of The Beer Slayer.  

I'll have beer waiting for him if he catches up.

Well, with all that being said, how does one go about joining a militia?  Does anyone think this action might be "not in the best interest" of myh family for legal reasons?  I have what you might call "marketable" skills but I fear websites due to predetory LW org's.  Anyone here?  Shoot me a line if so and thanks!

You're already in the militia.  Most of the "militia" groups you could join are a good way to find yourself in legal trouble, either from the idiots who get involved in them with no sense or from the government infiltrators.  There was a case in the mid '90's where a bunch of "militia" members were arrested for possession of explosives, turns out the member whose property they were on didn't necessarily know they were there, and the ones who put them there were government informers/infiltrators.

Get/stay in shape, practice your marksmanship, if the day comes when the militia is needed, you won't need to be part of some self-appointed group.

Seriously.

 



My personal militia is just a phone tag group.

really, when I had a top secret clearance a million years ago, names like theirs would put you on a list so fast. Boys with toys, might as well join the Klan. you want a militia, one of the best is called The United States Marine Corp.

Good call.

They will get all the training they can eat there, and when discharged, there are plenty of BTDT's to hit the range and work out with.

Just my personal opinion...

...both are probably half under cover agents of the FBI or ATF and the other half are agent provocateurs. ...then there is the one guy that's the nut case.

If you are male and between the ages of 17 and 44 you already are a member of the militia.
