I'm clearly a nut, bit I've always been interested in the idea of the citizen militia. The ability of able bodied men (and now women) to be able to outfit like a modern hoplite and join the phalanx still has an appeal. Every American who is not a violent felon or completely deranged should have basic tactical training, a mid-caliber carbine, a pistol, body armor and basic knowledge of weaponry.
For armor
For carbine
For pistol
For training or this
Because why not. We can own it already, why not become proficient? I know this sounds like a dumb and/or dangerous idea, but let's not lie and say it is unappealing at least to us - this is a wargaming site. Either way, small arms training will never save the world, but if people are educated and relatively peaceful, I don't see it as being dangerous. Flame on and enjoy the links. No matter how much you might disagree, you will enjoy these links
