    Maryland Militia ? (updated)

    From Delegate Don Dwyer

    Dear Maryland Patriots,

    I was certain that the time would come when there would be a need to organize the “Voluntary Militia”. That time has come. The voluntary militia is recognized in the Maryland Constitution under Article 9 SECTION 1. and the Declaration of Rights under Article 28 that notes “a well regulated Militia is the proper and natural defense of a FREE Government.”

    Please know that I am NOT calling for insurrection of any kind, I am simply calling for you to join me in establishing an organized effort to establish a Voluntary Militia in every county of the state.

    If you are interested in enlisting in the voluntary militia please join my email list and select the Militia option by sending a text msg to joindon to 22828 or visit my fans page and join my list there. Further instructions will follow. You will receive a phone call from me regarding your commitment to serve.

    I thought any non-state sanctioned militia was illegal in MD? Hence why we have the National Guard and the MDDF.

    I doubt the law that forbids all but a "state-sanctioned militia" has ever been tested in court.

    I don't see how any government entity can preempt the right of the people.

    What if the government decided to enact a law, saying "only state-owned media is to be permitted freedom of speech"?

    A large number of people responding to this militia idea would certainly send a message....

    I thought militias were banned in maryland...but I will consider that state support

    No, just the weapons. The Maryland Militia will look a little silly carrying these.

    An UNORGANIZED militia should be 100% legal and doesn't consist of only members bearing arms. Anyone supporting the "effort" are also part of the militia.

    We can be "well regulated" without be considered "organized". Look it up!

    Given current events, that made me laugh :D (Not laughing at you, just seems so ironic)

    Does Dwyer fall under the habitual drunkard standard?

    On a serious note. How much you want to bet everyone who signs up goes on a watchlist and then no fly then officially branded a domestic terrorist. That would be the fair and common sense approach to a non-governmental militia.
