Ooh, I bet the marxists in Florida's blue-infested cities don't like this at all. A couple points from the article...
.
Floridians are ready to roll...
"... Within less than a month, Florida has already received more than 1,200 applications. The force, though, will only accept 400 members. ... "
.
And this group will, unlike the NG, report only to the State...
"... The force will assist the Florida National Guard during natural disasters and states of emergency. But unlike the National Guard, they will not accept federal support and will answer only to state leaders. ..."
.
So when the good Governor of Florida declares a state of emergency there due to rabid marxist violence, I guess the new State Guard there can start deploying to subdue the rabid, city-destroying, murderous leftist beasts.
Now I really want to join. Former LE, Navy, K9, investigator etc here... 60yo but ready to go. The state needs a group To stand up to feds or to replace unresponsive local governme t police who don't respect the law.
DeSantis' people just released that they now have the funds to expand beyond the first tranche of 400 FL Guard soldiers. Gov. DeS. said they need more for hurricane season alone.
Can you drop a link for the news of the expansion? I just went looking for it and can't yet find it. Unlike others I'm not hooked into the social media sites.
Music to my ears! And - wow - talk about good news following fast on the heels of good news! Win -win! Thanks for the update. I hope other states follow Florida's lead. (Edit: Yes, I know plenty of other states have State Guard organizations, but expanding these and hiring our great vets who left their service under the Potatus admin would be poetic).
And now when they do their job, because they report to the state only, the feds can’t use DHS to harass them like what they are doing to the border patrol agents.
