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.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

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"
Yep we need this

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

That could be; I haven't seen read any of those. Rebuke away.Ah well. There were several others he revived today.
