Missouri has a volunteer state militia. Prior to the civil war the governor would and could call upon it's members to address emergencies, now the state has the National Guard to call on for emergencies, however the state militia continues to exist. It is not a part of the Reserve Military, it is a private defense organization of the state of Missouri, not funded by the state or federal government. Many of it's members are prior military. Their training occurs much the same as on the schedule for the Reserves and National Guard. appreciate all of your replies. I want to be clear here though that what I am talking about is NOT a State funded, ran, structured, controlled organization. It does not fall under the state government in anyway. The meetings, dates, times and locations are by invitation and or for members only. I have provided additional links to their web sites below, in the thread.

They DO exist. It's called the National Guard... The civilian fat guys running around in Camo are just that. Wannabes...

Isn't that the origin of the National Guard? And a number of states have State Guard. I have a friend who is a CPT in the NY State Guard. He doesn't get paid, but he is very active...

Yes and no Sir. The National Guard can be federalized while state militias, both those with state sponsorship (such as the Texas State Guard), and "private" militias are not subject to federalization.
