The feds destroyed, jailed, filed bogus charges and demonized all of the militias in the 90's and most disbanded went into hiding. I am not sure if trying to start or join one would be a good idea or just make you a target. Form neighborhood/ community alliances behind the scenes and keep a low profile. I am in one of the Wild West states and my neighborhood had 8 homes in a valley about 800 acres or so and we are all close and got each others backs. 3 of us are Marine vets, and a couple Army vets and Navy and Air Force as well. I know if anything goes down here we are all ready to defend and keep the peace in our neck of the woods. That is the safest way as far as I am concerned, the feds seem to have such a surveillance apparatus that any attempts to organize are infiltrated and stopped.
