I'm a triathlete so I'm well versed with running and quite often win my age bracket. I also compete in biathlons where we shoot with an elevated heart rate.

Good for you. If only the rest of the regular gun owners did the same. Lets be honest, the regular gun nut is generally a total fatso. I've been to gun shows....I have seen.

I don't consider road hunters drinking beer as a regular hunter. First off those two things are already illegal. If you want to see some fat Americans go to Comic-con.

No, you've made that point quite admirably.

Great! Get them out and help train and condition the OTHER 80-300 million or so gun owners.

Uh, if it came down to public militias trying to remove this govt by force...the military would be the ones they are fighting against, not to mention in a situation like this, even local police, and state police would probably be the first line of resistance any militia would come up against...

While this kind of thing would be patriotic by definition...it would look a whole lot like domestic terrorism on the surface!!

Try to keep up. We are discussing the Rightie fantasy of gun owners protecting America from foreign invasion. Not the Rightie fantasy of gun owners protecting themselves from government takeover. You need to start a new topic for that.

Maybe, maybe not. Some militia had military training and backgrounds that were typically better educated in general. Most militia were farmers, town workers etc., little to no education, that went to monthly drills where they practiced some rudiments but mostly drank and socialized. Their biggest asset was they were hardened to the outdoor life and knew the land.
