Not without funding or the approval of the federal government, Florida is one of those southern states that the laws was re-written expressly for.

If you do you homework you'll find that everytime any Governor calls out the national guard they have to get permission from the federal government.

Why? because it is the "National" Guard not the Florida state militia.

The control you wish the governor had over the National Guard hasn't existed since before the Civil War.

Very interesting. You see people calling for that a lot.
