militia?

[dannyboy762]

Is it legal to start a private state based militia? for instance, say about 30 of us got together can we form a militia? and no, not like the KKK or black panthers just something that if poop hit the fan we can get together and provide for and protect each other for positive reasons

There is a statute in the PA Crimes Code that forbids the organization of a para-military group. Whatever that means specificly......IANAL

That's not a militia, that's a neighborhood.

Agreed. Nothing wrong with locals keeping in touch and organizing for a possible defense of their area. Now if they all buy hummers, paint them camo colors and start partolling the neighborhood then maybe....... might be a bit too far. Just saying that I speak with my neighbors all the time, and everyone pitches in when something is wrong. Just a few weeks ago, the house 4 doors up from me was on fire. Almost everyone on the street arrived to assist.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term militia is commonly used today to refer to a military force composed of ordinary[1] citizens to provide defense, emergency law enforcement, or paramilitary service, in times of emergency without being paid a regular salary or committed to a fixed term of service. Legal and historical meanings of militia include:

Defense activity or service, to protect a community, its territory, property, and laws.
The entire able-bodied male (women are usually called to work in munitions factories) population of a community, town, county, or state, available to be called to arms.
A subset of these who may be legally penalized for failing to respond to a call-up.
A subset of these who actually respond to a call-up, regardless of legal obligation.
A private, non-government force, not necessarily directly supported or sanctioned by its government.
An official reserve army, composed of citizen soldiers. Called by various names in different countries such as; the Army Reserve, National Guard, or State Defense Forces.
The national police forces in several former communist states such as the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact countries, but also in the non-aligned SFR Yugoslavia. The term was inherited in Russia, and other former CIS countries. See: Militia (Police).
In France the term "Milice" has become tainted due to its use by notorious collaborators with Nazi Germany.
A select militia is composed of a small, non-representative portion of the population, often politicized.[2]
