As far as I’m concerned, I’m not a gun snob. If it works for you, goes bang when you pull the trigger and hits what you point it at... that’s all that matters.

@ Megatron What I mean is, if you use an unregistered gun for self defense, will the government try to get you in trouble for that?

I know this is a relatively old thread but I think you’d be better off checking your state and local laws concerning the situation you’re inquiring about. That and check federal precedence or court rulings on the matter at hand. You’ll be able to form a better idea as to how it’ll go down should you find yourself in that situation.

Where can one find a training facility for his/her group in North Texas? I have no land 🤔

B-Tactical, in Caddo Mills on I-30, has a great set of ranges. They’re SpecOps family owned & operated and they offer classes to civilian and LE alike. They don’t care what type of ammo you use as long as it’s not tracer or incendiary. You can rapid fire as long as you’re hitting your target. Check ‘em out.

Let's work together as you say and make Texas strong like it should be.

Mr Voss,

I, for one, am glad that you do what you do. I used to live near Sulphur Springs and went to one of your FTXs in East Texas. I met several likeminded people and I’m still friends with Eric R. For someone who had nowhere to go within my own county, I was glad to have the opportunity to attend yours.

I have traveled as far as Spring Texas to attend an FTX and will likely do it again in the future. Training is training and accessibility isn’t always a factor. It does good for the spirit to be surrounded by folks that don’t tear you down.

just some ideas

Also, it might help lessen the stigma of the the word ‘Militia’ and make the idea more palpable if you were to tweak the wording a bit by changing it from Militia to ‘Constitutional Citizens Meeting for Action’. That’s just an example, of course but do you get what I’m saying? Most folks hear the ‘M’ word and automatically jump to conclusions but folks like you and I know the importance of it. 

It might be a good idea to get a burner phone and use that number to give out until prospects have been thoroughly vetted. I wouldn’t want random people having my personal number because of obvious potential repercussions or fall-out from those portraying themselves as interested parties.

Trust But Verify
Have you considered fliers? You could canvas neighborhoods in your AO. Beats sitting in the sun and waiting for someone to stop or to get arrested.

I was banned completely, last week. So, FB is out of the question. I’ve tried for years to get a fire team off the ground but folks are so flakey out here. Even my pastor tried to get a shooting group going through the church and though people voiced their approval, no one ever showed up. I don’t get it. I think the majority of people are in la la land, have their heads up their collective asses and in denial that ‘it could ever happen here’.

I believe the same but I am adamantly against anything pushed by Gates or anyone else. I don’t wanna get too far into tinfoil hat territory but I do find it to be more than coincidence that SIDS and autism has been on the rise since the number of vaccines has increased. I’m not completely anti-vax but I’m vehemently pro-choice.

I do what I want but I exercise discretion. I mean, I need to eat and if a grocery store demands that I wear a mask, I’ll do it but I’ll attempt to enter without one first.

where and when is the next 3% meet up? 

There’s one today at a dude’s house at 3p. He lives in Royse City, approx 10min from me. It’s been a pre-planned event for a few weeks. I can’t remember his name but I have his address stored in my maps. I’d been in contact with him before I was banned from FB but have no other way of contacting him. If you have Facebook, you can join the Texas Three Percenters Group and then join the Texas Three Percenters, Zone 6 I believe. That’ll put you in the position to look at events. It’s a pot-luck thing and people are bringing stuff to eat or drink.

been trying to get at least a few guys together for 3 months now. no luck...

It’s hard to get folks out of their comfort zone and even harder to convince them that their hunting skills alone will get them through this. A single stick can easily be broken but a bunch is difficult.

I’m in the 972 (East) & I’m gonna be going to a meet & greet later with the local 3% to see what they’re about but as always, if they start talking ‘crazy talk’ I’ll be off like a dirty shirt. As far as scarcity of food, if y’all don’t have any dehydrators, Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers and/or a FoodSaver vacuum sealer and a pressure canner... now would be a good time to get that stuff. I’ve been putting back for months. It’s not that hard to get started.

Don’t know if anyone here used to listen to Liberty Tree Radio online several years ago but they’re live streaming on YouTube again. Just a heads up.

Have you seen the .410/AR platform put out by ATI? Those things were wicked cool

We are the remnants that are willing to train for the inevitable and continually struggle to bolster our ranks.  Unfortunately, by the time the rest of our countrymen are willing to accept that their hunting skills aren’t enough to get them through, it very well might be too late.

“Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.”

The potential is there but at what point are we gonna push back? The patriot, militia, 3% movements have been perpetually drawing lines in the sand for YEARS, only to have the enemies of Liberty step across them and we draw yet another line. I’m not looking to be the next martyr for Liberty but let’s face it, voting and bitching about it ain’t working. The founders wrote countless pages and opinions based on facts and experience as to what our duty is; even to the point of including it in the Declaration of Independence. Sooner or later we’re going to HAVE to do something because all this doing nothing is getting us nowhere.

Thanks for the input about the spare bolt lock pin. Gonna have to invest in a couple. I picked up the 590A1 last winter as it’s an upgrade from my Model 97 riot gun.

I’m not trying to step on anyone’s toes but there isn’t any activity here. Has a meet & greet been discussed or possibly meeting at a range to participate in a group shoot? Independence Day is fast approaching and that would be a good day for a meet & greet with a pot-luck meal. There seems to be interest and though I know times are hard, they’re not impossible to those that have a desire to participate. Group leader, please hit me up and maybe we can get things going.

I keep my longarms slung after the fashion of the LRRPs in Vietnam and the current Israeli way. They’re always at the ready, depending on the angle of the barrel but even when lowered, can easily be raised without much effort. I don’t do much firing from the hip but having a sling over my shoulder with raised rifle is an advantage to me. I can ‘drop’ my rifle without losing it and retrieve my sidearm. That and it helps disperse weight when using the 75 round drum in the AK.

Personally, I think that the reason people aren’t standing against it en masse is because everyone’s bellies are still full. Food, for the most part, is still readily accessible, albeit more expensive. When the food supply breaks down people are willing to take more risks and more often. Venezuela is a modern example of that. When you’re hungry or your babies are crying because they’re hungry and you can’t feed them, all bets are off.

That being said, addressing your mention of fear. I’ve always tried to live by a personal code of ‘Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain’. It’s carried me through a lot of hairy situations and I’ve been able to learn a lot about myself and what I’m capable of. I will also say that fear is a stepping stone for the strong but a stumbling block for the weak because only the strong are willing to face their fears without being forced and will continue doing so until they are victorious or dead. The weak, weather they know it or not, will either be made to face them by situations out of their control or they will continue to run from them until they die. I am more cautious around a fearful person than a confident one because a fearful person is more dangerous than the latter and thusly less predictable but, then again, I’m cautious of everyone. I made my decision when I resolved myself to the Oath back in ‘89 and I’ve honored it as best I can ever since. I was 19 and naive about a lot of stuff but even at that age, I’d experienced a lot of hairy situations and put myself in positions that forced me to see the finality of death and how there is no ‘glory’ in it. Death is death and everyone will face it one day but it is how you live your life that determines wether it’s honorable or not. Personally, I want to live and live well but that doesn’t mean that I’m willing to shirk my duty and responsibilities. If push comes to shove, I’ll have no choice but to defend the Constitution in a manner that requires it, depending on the severity of the shove. I don’t think anyone here is looking to be the next Bill Cooper or LaVoy Finicum but it is a fine line that we are all walking and should think long and hard about what we’re doing and why. The Founders pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to see it through and make it happen, one way or the other. But they didn’t have the propaganda machine (MSM) that is so prevalent today. They also didn’t have as large a number of the uneducated masses that are either unwilling to do their own research and believe everything they’re told on the tv or are just outright willfully ignorant, facts be damned. The low turnout of new militia members should be testament to that and it’s nothing new. Cream rises to the top but so do the curdles. I hate to put it in an ‘us vs them’ manner but we’ve been fighting the disinformation front as well as everything else for many years. People have got to want to self govern. I’m gonna end here because I could ramble on all day and I don’t wanna do that.

I got news for that ‘Deviant Art’ guy. People have been preparing for that scenario for a long time before even Barry Soetoro came on the scene.

This was in ‘95.

I remember when this was going down and this is what piqued my interest in the Constitutional Militia. I was 25 and ready to learn as much as I could. Seeing stuff like the link you posted and that map, I am often reminded of a response I heard several years ago: “Don’t those people know that we’ve been training for years on how to kill them and they make threats like that?!” (Obviously the response was in reference to the enemies of our Republic and Liberty but I have to clarify for those that may see this and not understand.)
