"Under the U.S. Constitution, each state's National Guard unit is controlled by the governor in time of peace but can be called up for federal duty by the president. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 forbids U.S. troops from being deployed on American soil for law enforcement." - Source

Okay... that said, the Feds have sometimes played a bit fast and loose with definitions of terms (I know, I'm shocked, too), so I'd at least make sure you have enough popcorn on hand.
