      Fun while it lasted

      Not that my opinion matters much to most of you.... I've been a member of this site for several years, but as you can tell by the few posts I've made, I haven't been around much. Part of the reasons I haven't been on here are for many of the same reasons that IndyDave1776 pointed out, but also...

      Justice Joseph Story on the Second Amendment I don't know what the context the "...would not trespass..." comment was made, but on the surface it would seem as if it was with regard to respect of individual property Rights. But regardless if it's a combat situation or not, I don't like the...

      Alexander Hamilton warned that, “The continual necessity for his services (referring to the King and the government at that time) enhances the importance of the soldier (which was performing law enforcement for the King), and proportionally degrades the condition of the citizen. The military...

      I'm scratching my head on that one... If a group of people come out and protest, peaceably, then it's not considered a "militia", private or otherwise. But as soon as those same people pick up their guns and carry them on the same peaceable protest march, it's considered a "private militia"...

      The term "private militia" is kind of an oxymoron considering that our Founding Fathers viewed everyone as a member of the militia, and therefore, were not under the control of a private individual, ie, unorganized. And at the same time, those militia members (insert The People) were our...

      I had a thought last night after my initial posting... Someone mentioned the Indiana Guard Reserve. Now I know for a FACT that there are IGR personnel that are on this forum, which is why I think the earlier "join the IGR" comment was made. I personally know SEVERAL prominent, ranking...

      223 Gunner is correct - the Leaders are well liked. Since the militia is all volunteer, those who are in the ISL want to be in the ISL. The members that cause problems or are inactive, we basically throw them out. It's a pretty simple filtering process. Other than throwing someone out of the...

      You touched on 2 very important points in your first couple sentences; 1) Militia groups would love some positive exposure, and 2) most everything you hear about the militia is "stereotypically negative". This isn't necessarily the fault of the militia group, although sometimes it is. But just...

      Well, it's been forever since I've been on this site. I figured it was about time to revive this thread a little. I started reading the first few pages and it would seem that some people here have some preconceived ideas about the ISL, that being that we're no different than any other...

      Rucking, Bushcraft and Comms Testing

      I've met Sailor a few times and event took his Em Comms class. Lot's a good information. I've been building up my radio equipment and pushing my guys to get their equipment squared away. I draw a lot from the information from the Em Comms class that I took. Thanks, Sailor. Keep up the...

      Willing to participate is one thing. Starting a thread so that some people can get their jollies posting BS, I'm not sure it's worth the aggravation. As has already been clearly demonstrated by some of the other members of this site, they could care less about anyone or any group that uses the...
