    Actually disregard slightly, its been awhile since I had talked to them and I found I still had some email traffic. This is directly copied from said email.

    "All the material is on the internet, here is the website
    (http://2nd-bn-tmar-state-tx.us/) or if that doesn't work type in 2nd BN
    TMAR on your search engine you should be able to find our website
    relatively easy. I encourage you request access and that way you can see
    what we do. There are no printed materials because have no funding for
    that.

    We do qualify with our own small arms but bear in mind the TXSG is not
    an armed force, we offer the Texas Concealed Handgun License at a
    reduced price.

    There are no MOS's we all do the same job for the most part and receive
    the same training, of course the higher in the chain of command a person
    is the more duties and responsibilities.

    I don't mind answering your questions

    (361) 563-7097 Cell"


    There was more back and forth but I think this is the main part I was thinking of "We do qualify with our own small arms but bear in mind the TXSG is not
    an armed force"
    If I were not over the age limit, I would become a member of the Texas State Guard. As an 'old man', I'll continue in the Mississippi State Guard until they decide to retire me or I get tired of driving to drills at Camp McCain and Camp Shelby, MS.

    Please stop reviving moldy old dead discussions. This one was finished in 2013. The required number of posts is intended to get you involved with current discussions so folks get to know you before you post your ad. It's not a "let's see how many three word replies you can put in old dead threads to check a box" rule.

    Je me le souviens. . . . .

    A while back the Texas Capitol Building was rehabbed. The Statue was removed from the top of the Capitol Dome for restoration.

    When they tried to put it back, No-one in Texas could, and no-one knew or could recall how it got way up there to begin with.

    Finally the Mississippi State Air National Guard came to Austin in a big helicopter and put it back for them.

    Scroll back more; it was someone else who revived it.

    I think the state government should create a "volunteer" Texas State Militia. Anyone that joins said militia answers only to the Governor of Texas. And, of course, being a "militia" is fully protected by the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States....no matter how a liberal wants to read or interpret it.

    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.

    if they do, are we getting sent to the border with unlimited ammo and no bag limit?
