It's the cutoff age that legally defines the pool of men that can be called up by a governor. But don't take that as an obstacle because the people are the militia. Any citizen's militia group will take you. That are plenty that are over 45.
Thanks.
I wouldn’t want to miss the party.
In all seriousness, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the future, especially in terms of being armed. By the looks of it, others have done the same.
But it also occured to me that I’m hardly in what anyone would call “fighting shape”.
I’ve started a modest exercise program to loose a few pounds and gain some strength and endurance.
Curious if anyone else has had similar thoughts? I’ve come to the conclusion that being fit, healthy and strong may be crucial in the coming years.
This may be worthwhile considering...these days.
The federal law defines those who can be called up by the federal government. The various states have their own militia laws which set the limits for state service. In Maryland, the militia is (or was when I was an active member) all able bodied males between the ages of 16 and 60.
In addition, there is another organized component of the militia called the State Defense Forces (aka State Guards, State Military Reserves, aso). Not all states have State Defense Forces. They are not subject to federal call-up (unlike the National Guard), nor do they recieve federal funds (which is why they are neglected by most state AG’s).
