Light out of the hour, use the hour of the time. Light out of the hour, use the hour of the time. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. You're listening to the Hour of the Time. And I'm Dave. And I'm Michelle. How many kids out there know that pledge? Remember, nowadays they don't have to say that in school if they don't want to. Just think about it. I want to say tonight that Mr. Cooper and his family are doing great. They asked us to do the show tonight because they're doing some important things. So, here we are. Let me say that Michelle and I are not pros at doing this. We are not professional radio or TV people or anything like that. We're just people. We're just Americans that care about our country. You could do what we're doing tonight. You could. Think about it. And, yes, Michelle is the Michelle. So, got that out of the way. Tonight's show is not to prove the validity of the militia. Because the validity of the militia is a proven fact to people that can read and understand laws and statutes. Which I hope many of you out there can. Tonight's show is for the sheeple. I say, you go to the law library. You look it up. You find it out for yourself. Because it's out there. Don't take my word for it. Don't take Michelle's word for it. You go find it out for yourself. Tonight's show is for those lazy, anti-militia people who don't think that what's going on in this country is right. And they don't think that people should be in a militia at all. This show is definitely for the bad guys. So, stay tuned. Next message. Next message. Say, Saturday at 9.24 p.m. Sorry. I'm just... It's straight to hate me like a... I'm... I'm... You're done. Heavy state. Just like what you do. I'll ask. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You know, Yeah. It's interesting to note and to remember that when you read provided by law or as authorized by law and these provisions, that's an indication that you definitely need to read through the statutes of your state to see exactly what those laws are. And the majority of the state constitutions say that the governor is the commander-in-chief of the militias, but that's not always the case. Sometimes the legislature is in charge of it, and this is something you'll just need to check your constitutions about. But we're primarily interested in looking at the definitions of the constitutions of the 50 states because some of you have never even bothered to take a look at it. And here's the state of California. This is pretty interesting. In Article 1, Section 24, it starts out by saying, Rights guaranteed by this constitution are not dependent on those guaranteed by the United States Constitution. You know, go figure. What do they mean by that? And then in Section 7, all it says is, The governor is commander-in-chief of a militia that shall be provided by statute. The governor may call it forced to execute law. So if you've got militia statutes in the state of California, you need to look them up in the statute section. It's not in your constitution, although you do have a constitutionally guaranteed right to fish. State of Colorado, Article 2. Article 2, Colorado, Section 13. The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person, and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question. But nothing herein' contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons. Article 17, Section 1. The militia of the state, this is Colorado, shall consist of all able-bodied male residents of the state between the ages of 18 and 45 years, except such persons as may be exempted by the laws of the United States or of the state. Article 17, Section 4. The General Assembly shall provide for the safekeeping of the public arms, military records, relics, and banners of the state. State of Connecticut, Article 1, Section 15. Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state. Article 4, Section 8. The governor shall be captain general of the militia of the state, except when called into the service of the United States. But the Constitution there doesn't define it. Again, check your statutes. State of Delaware, Article 1, Section 20. A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home, and state, and for hunting and recreational use. Article 3, Section 8. He, the governor, shall be the commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the state and of the militia. Except when they shall be called into the service of the United States. Florida. Article 1, Section 8, Subsection A. The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and of this lawful authority of the state shall not be infringed, except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by law. Subsection B. There shall be a mandatory period of three days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, to clean the purchase and delivery at retail of any handgun. For the purpose of this section, purchase means the transfer of money or other valuable consideration to the retailer. And handgun means a firearm capable of being carried and used by one hand, such as a pistol or revolver. Holders of a concealed weapons permit, as prescribed in Florida law, shall not be subject to the provisions of this paragraph. Subsection D. This restriction shall not apply to a trade-in of another handgun. Article 10, Section 2, Subsection A. The militia of the state of Florida shall be composed of all able-bodied inhabitants of the state who are or have declared their intention to become citizens of the United States. And no person, because of religious, creed, or opinion, shall be exempted from military duty, except upon conditions provided by law. So, Florida, your militia is composed of all able-bodied inhabitants. Subsection B. The organizing, equipping, housing, maintaining, and disciplining of the militia and the safekeeping of public arms may be provided for by law. Check your statutes. Georgia. Constitution. No militia definition. Article 1, Section 1, Paragraph 8. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, but the General Assembly shall have power to prescribe the manner in which arms may be borne. Article 2, Section 6, Paragraph 2, Subparagraph 2. The General Assembly shall have the power to provide by law for a militia and of the trial by court-martial and non-judicial punishment of its members. Article 5, Section 2, Paragraph 3. The governor shall be the commander-in-chief of the military forces of this state. Hawaii. No militia definition. Article 1, Section 17. A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, an exact quote of Article 2 of the Constitution for the United States. Amendment 2, sorry. Article 5, still in Hawaii. Section 5. The governor shall be commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the state and may call out such forces to execute the laws, suppress, or prevent insurrection or lawless violence or repel invasion. Idaho does have a militia definition in their Constitution. Let's start with Article 1, Section 11. The people have the right to keep and bear arms, which rights shall not be abridged. But, and that's a big but, this provision shall not prevent the passage of laws to govern the carrying of weapons concealed on the person, nor prevent the passage of any legislation providing penalties for the possession of firearms by a convicted felon, nor prevent the passage of any legislation punishing the use of a firearm. No law shall impose licensure, registration, or special taxation on the ownership or possession of firearms or ammunition. Right. Nor shall any law permit the confiscation of firearms except those actually used in the commission of a felony. Still in Idaho. Article 14, Section 1. All able-bodied male persons, residents of this state between the ages of 18 and 45 years, shall be enrolled in the militia. Now let's talk about the word shall. When you read the word shall in law, that means absolutely shall. Without a doubt, shall. And you can sometimes substitute the word does. Okay? So you could read that. All able-bodied male persons, residents of this state between the ages of 18 and 45 years, do or are enrolled. That's why so many people are out there, and they're in the militia, and they don't even know it. But when you read the word shall, it means absolutely. It means that it does consist of that. So, all those people shall be enrolled in the militia, and perform such military duty as may be required by law. But no person having conscientious scruples against bearing arms shall be compelled to perform such duty in time of peace. Every person claiming such exemption from service shall, in lieu thereof, pay into the school fund of the county of which he may be a resident, an equivalent in money, the amount and manner of payment to be fixed by law. Article 14, Section 2. The legislature shall provide by law for the enrollment, equipment, and discipline of the militia to conform as nearly as practicable to the regulations for the government of the armies of the United States, and pass such laws to promote volunteer organizations as may afford them effectual encouragement. Article 14, Section 5. All military organizations under the laws of this state shall carry no other device, banner, or flag than that of the United States or the state of Idaho. Article 14, Section 6. No armed police force or detective agency or armed body of man shall ever be brought into this state for the suppression of domestic violence, except upon the application of the legislature or the executive when the legislature cannot be convened. Now, Dave, before you go into the next state, let's stop a minute, because we've read a couple of constitutional excerpts where it has talked about not just the militia, but also about the volunteer forces. Would you explain a little bit about the history of that and what the volunteer forces really are? Oh, yeah, just to put it in a nutshell, the volunteer forces, that concept goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War before and after. The volunteer forces were a special force, okay? They were separate from the regular militia. They were the volunteer forces. They had the most dandy uniforms, the best weapons, the best artillery, the best that could be bought with money. The regular militia was just John Key Citizen who owned a firearm and maybe had a sack of powder and a bunch of balls in his back room somewhere. But the volunteers were people who were well-financed, and they eventually became the National Guard. Illinois has a militia definition in their Constitution. Article 1, Section 22, Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. What the hell does that mean? Illinois, Article 12, Section 1, The state militia consists of all able-bodied persons. Well, that means men, women, children. If you're able-bodied, you're in the militia because the state militia consists of all able-bodied persons residing in the state except those exempted by law. Article 12, Section 3, The General Assembly shall provide by law for the organization, equipment, and discipline of the militia in conformity with the laws governing the armed forces of the United States. Well, we've sure read a lot of provisions for the legislatures to provide for the equipping and training of the militia, and I don't know very many of them who are doing it. State of Indiana, Article 1, Section 32, The people shall have the right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the state. Article 12, Section 2, The governor is commander-in-chief of the militia and other military forces of this state. No militia definition. State of Iowa, Article 6, Section 1, The militia of this state shall be composed of all able-bodied male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 years except such as are or may hereafter be exempt by the laws of the United States or of this state and shall be armed, equipped, and trained as the General Assembly may provide by law. State of Kansas, Bill of Rights, Section 4, The people have the right to bear arms for their defense and security, but standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty and shall not be tolerated, and the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power. Article 8, Section 1, The militia shall be composed of all able-bodied male citizens between the ages of 21 and 45 years except such as are exempted by the laws of the United States or of this state but all citizens of any religious denomination whatever who from scruples of conscience may be averse to bearing arms shall be exempted therefrom upon such conditions as may be prescribed by law. Article 8, Section 2, The legislature shall provide for organizing, equipping, and disciplining the militia. Kentucky, Bill of Rights, Section 1, Paragraph 7, All men are by nature free and equal and have certain inherent and inalienable rights among which may be reckoned the right to bear arms in defense of themselves and of the state subject to the power of the General Assembly to enact laws to prevent persons from carrying concealed weapons. The militia, Section 219, The militia of the Commonwealth of Kentucky shall consist of all able-bodied male residents of the state between the ages of 18 and 45 years except such persons as may be exempted by the laws of the state or of the United States. Section 220, The General Assembly shall provide for maintaining an organized militia. Louisiana. Louisiana has no militia definition in their constitution, but this is what they do have. They have Article 1, Section 11. The right of each citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged, but this provision shall not prevent the passage of laws to prohibit the carrying of weapons concealed on the person. That takes care of Louisiana. Louisiana. Let's move on to Maine, which does have a militia definition. Article 1, Section 16, Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms, and this right shall never be questioned. Hmm. I like that. Article 7, Section 5, Persons of the denominations of Quakers and Shakers, Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court, Ministers of the Gospel, or Persons Exempted by the Laws of the United States may be exempted from military duty. But no other able-bodied person of the age of 18 and under the age of 45 years excepting officers of the militia who have been honorably discharged shall be so exempted. Article 7, Section 2, The legislature shall, by law, designate the qualifications necessary for holding a commission in the militia and shall prescribe the mode of selection of officers for the several grades. Declaration of Rights, Article 28, That a well-oh, Maryland. Huh. I missed it. I guess that was the definition in Maine, wasn't it? Mm-hmm. Well, we're... It wasn't very specific. We're in Maryland now. Yeah. Huh. Interesting. Well, Maine is Maryland. That just kind of flew past me. No other able-bodied person of the age of 18 and under the age of 45 years, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right. So if you're over 18 and under 45 in the state of Maine and you're not a shaker, a Quaker, a justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, a minister of the Gospel, or have been honorably discharged, then you're militia. Okay. Well, they sort of defined it in a roundabout way. Oh, yeah, she did. Well, okay. Maryland. That's interesting. That's something for you people to read and understand. Maryland. I have it here. It says no militia definition. But it does have this. Declaration of Rights, Article 28, that a well-regulated militia is the proper and natural defense of a free government. Article 2, Section 8, Article 9, Section 8, the General Assembly shall make from time to time such provisions for organizing, equipping, and disciplining the militia as the exigency may require, and pass such laws to promote volunteer militia organizations as may afford them effectual encouragement. Excellent. Massachusetts. Part 1, Declaration of Rights, Section 17. The people have a right to keep and bear arms for the common defense. And as, in time of peace, armies are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be maintained without the consent of the legislature, and the military power shall always be held in an exact subordination to the civil authority to be governed by it. Article 7 and 10, which deal with militia of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, were annulled. For further information, you need to see the amendments and Article 54 of your state constitution. And now we're going to take a break, folks. Don't go away, because we'll be right back. Radio, Mr. Mike Gavin's call to Mr. Larry Bowden.

reading constitutions from the 50 states Michelle, please continue with Massachusetts No, I finished Massachusetts I'm going to pick up with Michigan And we're talking about Article 1, Section 6 Every person has a right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state Article 3, Section 4 The militia shall be organized, equipped, and disciplined as provided by law There's those key words again As provided by law That means you've got to go read your statute Minnesota is even more succinct Minnesota, Article 13, Section 9 Only says The legislature shall pass laws necessary for the organization, discipline, and service of the militia of the state Period That's it You're going to have to go to the law library, folks State of Mississippi Article 3, Section 12 The right of

regulate or forbid carrying concealed weapons Article 9, Section 214 All able-bodied male citizens of the state between the ages of 18 and 45 years Shall be liable to military duty in the militia of this state In such manner as the legislature may provide Section 215 The legislature shall provide for the organizing, arming, equipping, and discipline of the militia And for paying the same when called into active service Many of your state statutes and state constitutions contain provisions Which deal with carrying concealed firearms and concealed weapons You need to understand the difference between a concealed firearm and a concealed weapon Because Many of the state constitutions have been amended to provide for forbidding carrying concealed weapons And there you go You guys need to look it up yourselves Missouri No militia definition But Article 1, Section 23 The right of every citizen To keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person, and property Or when lawfully

Shall be brought into this state for the preservation of the peace Or the suppression of domestic violence Except upon the application of the legislature Or of the governor when the legislature cannot be convened Something else just occurred to me I remembered when it talks about carrying concealed weapons They're not talking about firearms Concealed weapons were forbidden to be carried As early as the 1900s But they were talking about knives Especially the Bowie knife Which was considered especially lethal and dangerous So when they talk about concealed weapons Get your minds off of guns, folks It says concealed weapons Nebraska No militia definition Article 1, Section 1 All persons are by nature free and independent And have certain inherent and inalienable rights Among these are life,

Something else too Folks Almost Well I won't say Almost all Many many many Of the state Constitutions Have provisions Forbidding a standing army It's forbidden And now this concept Goes way way back To the revolution Where standing armies Set up by the king Were common practice They just Were standing They just lived there They lived in your town They lived all over The place In fact Boston was under A state of siege Because they had A huge standing army Of British That were there Now standing armies Were a concept Which our founding fathers Refused to allow To continue So go back Look that
