Welcome to FR.
I probably wouldn’t join a militia group, but then again, you never know. Would be interested in hearing more about your experience with them.
You're right, of course. But I wanted that to be a surprise! Since you've let the cat outta the bag, I took a picture of my personal FR beeber so that Amelia won't be fooled by cheap imitations.
What if they offered dental coverage, discounts on auto insurance and stuff?
Now THAT is funny. I don’t care what caliber you are carrying.
S&W, M&P 45ACP.
Thanks for asking.
That would be great. Then I wouldn’t need AARP.
Maybe we could start a grey beard militia.
No, slick, if you are between 15 and 45, you are unorganized militia.
Period. Law of the land.
Yes, Congress, assembled, has the responsibility of organizing the milita. (cluser {redacted german word}). But that is the reality of how it's set up. It's never nice for people that put on boots before the sun sun rises.
Get up sunshine! And show me those smiling faces!
My airmen hated me.

Ah, the initiation!
Drinking my coffee and hoping the hallucinations do not set in before completing the three tasks!
The tasks are...*rummaging through lists*...spar with a robot for three rounds, hogtie a chipmunk, Spray a squirrel with concentrated boiled catnip tea and release him in an area with cats!
Wait, that’s not the list of tasks.
*rummaging through lists*
Hey!
Somebody took my list of initiation tasks!
I got the robot drunk first and then the sparring was a breeze.
..hogtie a chipmunk...
Oh, I didn't get to do that one. I did have to give a monkey a shower, though. ("Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today...")
Spray a squirrel with concentrated boiled catnip tea and release him in an area with cats!
The difficulty factor on this one was sort of high, but the entertainment value was well worth it.
Wait, thats not the list of tasks.
Aw, dang....you're right. I just did all that stuff because I was bored one day.
Well, I do recall that one part of the initiation is to drink my coffee.
But I’m feeling less sadistic today than usual.
So we’ll put it out to vote.
Militia groups, the self defined ones, are usually under surveillance. Some for good reasons, most because the work “militia” equals “Terrorists” to many government agencies.
Pretty much:

There are no militias.
Bill Clinton detroyed them all.
You are 10 years too late.
The only people looking for militias are paniced liberals hoping a militia nut will save obamas bacon.
just like clinton. OMG did I just stuble upon a thought?
Damn Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then.
