So you want to join a militia  what's going on guys black scout survival and today i'm going to be talking about joining a militia this is a question i get asked almost daily should i join a militia how do i find a militia things like that and what considerations.

You should look into a few years back i was hosting a tv show and basically the premise of is i infiltrated a militia and trained them and so i know a little bit about militias but the biggest thing i think you need to think about is like what's your intent.

You know militia like the second amendment is something that you know is our right and things like that are are you looking to you know become friends and train with people are you looking to you know create some kind of defensive force i think a lot of times people.

Think about like you know tyranny and governmental control and things like that as their idea of a militia every almost every state i think has something called a state guard which is a state militia or state defense force that you can join it's a volunteer force you get issued a lot of gear and stuff like that you train.

Uh things like once a month and stuff like that now you don't get paid but you you know obviously get lots of free training and you can go uh you know help in different uh type of disaster events and things like that they'll deploy the units i think they do get paid.

Based on that so i think some things they do get paid on but you know i think a lot of guys don't they're not thinking militia in that concept they're thinking more so in a capacity of you know a tyrannical or you know government type look now the state guard is a auxiliary unit to the state's.

National guard so like if the national guard deploys the state guard takes up as like reserves for that so they can be attached to national guard and things like that it just depends on the state and different states have different units so that may be something you'll look into because you'll meet people you'll.

You know have inside loop because you're working for the state you know you and so you'll have a good intel now when you're looking at other militias i mean that can be a spooky thing because you know a lot of them have radical ideologies and typically all of.

Them are filled up with federal agents you know there'll be 10 undercover federal agents in every one of those groups you know so you're always going to have the fbi looking at you um you'll be placed on lists and things like that so i'd be very careful on joining any any.

Type of militia like that you know if you're going to if you're looking to join something like that i'd say to see if they have a website see you know kind of what their ideologies are and if you're looking in the what if scenario like total apocalypse uh.

Disaster tyranny civil wars things like that are you willing to with these basically strangers i mean you're gonna develop a friendship with them but are they strangers and would you if you got killed would you leave your family with these people that's the biggest thing.

Me personally i don't think it's a good idea you know because a group could do something crazy and then you're attached to this group and you wind up going to jail too so my idea is to form your own group with people you know people you know for long times you know time frame.

Family friends neighborhood i always talk about neighborhood defense force i've seen that in action overseas where it's a very powerful things you know these people you have your resources right there at your disposal and it's a defensive nature you know if you're talking about doing anything offensively.

You're really crossing a line where you're gonna either you know get killed or do some serious time so it should be in the defensive in nature neighborhood defense force people you know friends family things like that and you know you can train together and to me it's the best system because you.

Can protect your family you're always with them these people know you're living with them they're not you know federal agents and those sort of things so anyhow guys hope this kind of helps you out with some information if you do join with these other groups make sure you do.

A lot of research on them make sure you you know you understand their ideologies at least know some people that may have been in the group already and stuff like that because you're getting into very you know muddy waters when you're joining groups of people you don't really know and what they could be.

Doing so anyhow guys as always thanks for watching black scout survival you
