A well organized militia...

[m4strmind]

I think if someone had a bunch of land we could get together once a week for some physical training with no firearms and create some political man power.

You know if NSA can't spell either

You might be on to something. Poor spelling just might keep you off that list!

 

[m4strmind]

Can we focus on the topic instead of a misspelling?

Sure, here you go:

I'd keep this kind of talk over on that site...

Maryland does have one it is called Maryland Defense Force, their website and information can be found http://mddf.maryland.gov/
I forget the exact number but many states do in fact have a militia most are in fact unarmed, and depending on the state they do help in the support role of the National guard, just a little side information.

MDDF is an unarmed auxiliary admin assistance ...

...I'm sure the threat of the "Western Maryland Militia" would at least give the idea some credibility and turn some heads even if actual violence was never used.

Best idea for this plan is, DROP IT!

In the event you don't, that's a phrase you may very well hear in the near future.

The word "militia" does not have the same (good) connotations it did in the days of our founding. Today it is aligned with domestic terrorism by LE and the media. All the classical and legal definitions be damned. Using the word "militia," to describe yourself or your organization today will get you instant suspicion if not investigation! ...just don't do it.

Most are assistance. I know this is the MD forum but being with the VADF we do the communication side of things in assistance for the VA National Guard. I do know your saying in the militia but just thought I'd throw a bit of info in on things

Just call yourselves the Hillery in 2016 Drill Team and you will be golden.

Read Maryland's Declaration of Rights 1776..... when Maryland believed in freedom

Militia's are illegal under MD law, which prevents "armed assembly".

Damn communists figured out how to stay corrupt and in power indefinitely. That was their whole plan under banning a militia group in the state.

When it all comes crumbling down on those who supported the regime .... I shall turn away and watch them fall as supporters of oppression.

They did a lot of bad shcrap during Reconstruction, too.

 

[paperwork351]

The Maryland Militia is under the control of the governor and was called out as coast watchers in 1942. Unarmed of course. Interestingly, in Virginia, gun bills are heard in the Police and Militia committee IIRC.

I wonder who would be responsible for enforcing that law? I don't think Chuck Jenkins here in Frederick would.

I think we just need someone with 100 acres of private property.

any attempt to stop a peaceful militia on private property would be a political disaster for the state.

Except that you won't be a peaceful militia on private property, you'll be a right-wing extremist terrorist organization. Each of you will be arrested individually, whisked off to God knows where and if you are lucky, charged at some point in time before you are old enough to collect Social Security.

There are other ways to skin a cat and I'd follow the previous poster's advice and drop the subject.
