There is a reason that I decided to name this site North Carolina Renegade. Tonight I was reminded of that reason. At a question and answer session, a member of the audience asked about the militia. The speaker quickly dismissed the dreaded “M” word. I doubt that there has been no word more misrepresented than militia by the government, media and even patriots who are quick to point out that they are not part of the militia.
So let me point out two facts:
- “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” No twenty-seven words have caused more propaganda and fear than the 2nd Amendment. There is a reason for this fear by the government: the 2nd amendment is necessary for the security of a free State from the federal government. As much as people misrepresent this simple fact, it does not change the reason of our forefathers’ intent to protect us from the newly formed Constitutional government after suffering the abuses of the British government.
- Federal law mandates the compulsory requirement for all able bodied men between 17 and 45 years to be part of the militia.
10 U.S. Code § 311 – Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
If people want to distance themselves from the best mechanism that our founding fathers gave us to secure our freedom, that is their right. As is my right to call these people ignorant, cowards or both. War is coming. The elites believe we are nothing more than expendable fodder. I believe that most people will meet their expectations.

Those who are expendable fodder will continue to misrepresent and demonize anyone who is a militia member,and the media will agree with the brain dead who can’t even think for themselves because they have either a “smart phone” in their face 24/7,or are watching idiotic tee vee shows,or are online reading leftist propaganda that they believe is the truth.
Anyone who claims they are a militia member will be demonized,vilified,and called a raaacisst,right wing nutjob,or a “domestic terrorist” and will be seen as a threat by the brain dead masses who are expendable fodder.
The media will repeat the horsepucky,and more of the brain dead will believe the horsepucky is the truth.
The left and the media have been demonizing the militia for decades-it will only get worse.
Militias vary from town to town, most are concerned with being politically correct now-a-days. While in Northern CA I found it to be vary well organized and worked with the Sheriffs dept in searches and rescue. Lots of older guys with previous military experience and quite a few young men and women that recently served in the military. Doctors, lawyers and former LEO’s, bikers and several ranchers as well. All kinds of people were involved at the time. Prepping, communications and navigation along with first-aid and lot’s of other useful stuff. Our group was family orientated and friendly to all that were interested.
My attitude towards joining a militia unit myself (as a former Marine grunt, with extensive Nam combat experience) hit my radar as I believe some version of Civil War 2 -- SHTF breaking out in my lifetime (if the Good Lord gives me more time) is inevitable. I hated to admit it but I’m convinced my golden years are going to be spent experiencing the greatest upheaval and trials in our Nations history…and I’m getting ready (in every conceivable way) -- daily.
I was active in The TEA Party…joined Oath Keepers, tried and failed to organize an active local OK cell…and have retired to a rural compound I call my Last Stand…because at my age it is.
Closing in on 67 may leave me too old for most Militias (64 seems to be the cut off) but I am in intentional hard earned excellent physical condition, still trot a decent distance (serious young man running with a pack is over), exercise daily, lift weights, box -- me and the heavy bag (so far I’m undefeated), shoot, and Prep -- Prep -- Prep!
I also realize if I continue to be the loner I have been the last 46 years since my discharge when some version of Civil War 2 -- SHTF….without a Tribe or a Militia I will eventually be overrun (that won’t be my first eyeball to eyeball rodeo) and will experience the violent death I had cheated so many times -- which I intend to make as expensive as possible.
I am at the point to start the search for a Militia to reach out to, and after we vet one another, and we both pass the initial process…join in any capacity I can get in at.
At this point I could care less about the Feds, the NSA, and all the other acronyms of tyranny because if my big mouth hasn’t already earned me a decent standing on their enemies list I’d be shocked and more then a little disappointed…they are certainly high up on mine!
This was a great post…two assault rifles up!!!
Thank you.
