#1 ...Many states, including my home here in SC, have such militias that are intended to take over NG functions in the event the bulk of the NG is mobilized and deployed out of state:

However, anyone wanna put bets on when this suddenly becomes 'right-wing extremism'?

#3 Ship, during Hurricane Katrina a substantial portion of the Louisiana Army National Guard was deployed to Iraq. And during the current crisis, when everyone was asking why Jindal hasn't called out the National Guard, it turns out the 256th brigade is.... on its second deployment to Iraq.

Louisiana kinda _needs_ a national guard that can't be called out to make up for Clinton's and Bush's respective delusions that the country could get by with only 13 divisions of full-time troops.

#4 Texas has such a guard. You can call them "militia", however, that is a pretty weak term. The Texas Guard has ground, air, and marine unites. They have been very effective assisting during Katrina assisting those who sought refuge in Texas. The developing hurricane in the news today is expected to hit Texas. The Texas guard will be ready.

#5 The Texas State Guard (TXSG) is one of three branches of the Texas Military Forces (TXMF), reporting to The Texas Adjutant General located at Texas Military Forces HQ, Camp Mabry (Austin), Texas. The Commander in Chief of the Texas Military Forces is the Governor of Texas. The other two branches are the Texas Army National Guard (TXARNG) and the Texas Air National Guard (TXANG).

From Daffy's link.

The idiot militia movement wants to be the arm of a party.... SA. Make it formal, put it under State control and I have no problem... other wise you're looking at dressing up SA.

#6 Oregon has a state militia as well - "http://www.orsdf.org/". It is directly permitted by the national militia law, as long as the state pays for EVERYTHING connected with the militia : in Oregon, the state militia is directed/controlled by the State Police.

#8 California has a State Military Reserve

The mission of the California State Military Reserve, as recognized in National Guard Regulation 10-4, is to provide an adequately trained and organized State military reserve force under the exclusive control of the Governor. The CSMR is meant to be capable of accomplishing those State emergency responsibilities normally assigned to the National Guard, when the Guard is federalized or otherwise not available.
