Welcome from East Houston!

Some advice? GO SLOW! Let the guys get to know you before you spout radical views. Some new folks join and are mistaken for "Trolls" who try to start arguments. Be cool for a while!

Radical views? Just asked a question about an organized militia...
Nothing sinister about that, I hope.....

Anyway, organized in my definition means:
arranged into a formal group with leaders and with rules for doing or planning things.

I'm not the boogieman trying to incite a riot or anything....just looking to see if an organization/militia exists in Texas.

I lived and worked in Houston for 4 1/2 years myself. I called Katy home. Nice, relatively quiet community, in 1992.
Moved from there in late 1996 to Midland and worked until I retired at age 52.
Retired to my farm and started working again.

Yes there is, although I know very little about it. A friend of mine surprised me the other day by informing me that he is currently going through their vetting process.

Texas State Guard? (not Texas National Guard)

Texas State Guard? (not Texas National Guard)

Texas State Guard isn't truly a "Militia" in the strict sense of the word, their focus is primarily disaster relief and shelter management. I was a member of the 436th ASG for 5 years and the closest I ever got to a weapon was helping the 2nd of the 149th Army National Guard tactical helo squadron inventory their M-16s. That, and a heavy dose of required FEMA courses soured me on the TSG.

I think your looking in the wrong place. I have not seen or heard of anything like that on here. There ae a lot of smoking guns, but not the ones your looking for...

Yuck. I looked into it but was afraid it would be mostly noise and not signal.

Exactly right. The membership of the TSG unit I was in was approximately 50% older veterans and 50% young people who wanted to serve their country (state) without having to go to war. The veterans, to a man/woman were great people and I made many good friends, so I owe that to the "Guard". Unfortunately the same can't be said for the non-veterans, many of whom were clueless asshats.....and don't get me started on the non-veteran officers!

and don't get me started on the non-veteran officers!

Perish the thought.
