Welcome to The Cheshire County Militia
We are a group of people dedicated to the preservation of the American way and preserving our history. We feel that if we educate people and prepare them for whatever may happen. Being prepared is never a bad thing and knowing US history, traditions, the Constitution and laws can only benefit all of us...
Our core membership is mostly comprised of people that are prepared. We have banded together for mutual support, just like the days of old, helping thy neighbor. We help organize training events as well as charity donations for the community...
A good site for prep info and a wonderful forum for chat and meeting others. www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/ Really, it can't be beat...
If you want to know more, feel free to join us on our discussion's and comments. This is just starting out, but we hope it will grow. Registration is not needed. Comments are encouraged within certain parameters, see below.
Thanks and good luck. We're all going to need it!
Please check back soon for new entries. We're a new group in South-Western NH and are looking to meet local or semi local, like minded friendly people. I got the thought's for this after President Obama's "Corpse" man comment in Feb 2010 when he confused a heroic US Navy corpsman with undead foot soldier... So I figure, we must need to be ready for anything. We feel that if we are prepared to survive a zombie CorpseMan outbreak or invasion, we would be prepared for anything else that may come our way. Yes, it sounds a bit silly, I agree, BUT even the CDC says it's good. Besides any natural disaster, civil unrest, war or pandemic infection...nothing can come close to the horror and devastation of a zombie outbreak, so our members will be prepared to survive anything.
Here in NH and they have, what would seem to be rather illegal and UN-constitutional state laws regarding Militia.
They seem to be in direct contrast to the US & State Constitution and the US 2nd Amendment, BUT more on this state law later...
On here and in out group, racism will not be tolerated. Political UN-correctness WILL be tolerated and encouraged. Disagree with our thoughts? Please back up your disagreements. Please be respectful and no name calling crap.
This site nor it's owners & members do not promote or tolerate Offensive Actions or Violence...
Liberty is not a cruise ship full of pampered passengers, Liberty is a Man of War, and we are all crew ready to DEFEND it...
We hope to get a group together in the spirit of the original 1700's militia.
We are a private organization dependent on our members. Think of us a re re-enactment group, family friendly and helpful to each other and the community...
We wish to live by Article 2A of the NH state constitution that says, "All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families,their property and the state." And Article 24 of the NH state constitution says "A well regulated militia is the proper, natural, and sure defense,of a state." We should depend on each other and not the Government for help and our well being. The US Constitution and even the NH State Constitution seem to be counter to New Hampshire, Rev. Stat. Ann. § 111:15...
Any group under the control of the Governor or Government is not a Militia, by definition. I stand by the believe that while a Militia might serve under the governor, if it is mandatory and controlled by the Government, it is an army or State Guard, not a Militia...
The Citizen Militia IS: A deterrent, defensive force. A first response mechanism, to assist in times of disaster (i.e. hurricane, floods, etc). A chain of command (within each group) which we can use to offer leadership and assistance to our fellow citizens, community and families. To defend against all enemies foreign and domestic.
The Citizen Militia is NOT: An offensive force. A racist or subversive group. A private army subject to the dictates of any individual, corporation, or other private group. An organization formed for sustained combat operations (a ‘standing army’). To be used as a forum or launching point to any particular or religious agenda. We would like to clearly state that we are committed to a posture of defense, and do not advocate the unlawful overthrow, targeting of or overthrow of our form of government by any person(s. This site is a place for the independent militia Groups to come together to share training techniques, and teach the correct, unvarnished history of our Republic our State, the formation or our Constitution and Bill of Rights; teach & promote participatory citizenship.
We support HCR-6, (http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/legislation/2009/HCR0006.html) Please, look it up and let your rep's know how you feel.
"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." --John F. Kennedy
This site is dedicated to all of those Americans who have made the "Ultimate Sacrifice" in the defense of their Constitution. From the Patriots of Lexington Green to the present day anonymous militiaman who readies each day in quiet fury.
And to all the police, firefighters and medical personnel that every day put their own life on the line to save ours.
When you see a Veteran stop and shake his/her hand and say "THANK YOU"
If your reading this, Thank a teacher, if your reading this in English, Thank a Vet.
"What is war about, pain death and destruction. The Question one might ask is
what type hardships did this rifle see and undergo...Never glorify war,
understand what men are forced to do for their country and their
survival. Yours is not to approve, yours is to teach living history to others.
Every sword has two edges , every story two sides, you hear what your told
to hear, your duty is to hear the truth weather you approve or not of
what you find."
Very good reading, www.nh.gov/constitution/constitution.html

NOW, no state law can trump these.. that require an amendment to the US Constitution or the State one..
So, is New Hampshire, Rev. Stat. Ann. § 111:15 Constitutional under BOTH the US Constitution AND the State of New Hampshire's? That is the question that lawyers and courts may have to decide... sadly, gone are the days when the common people could understand the laws we have to live by. Now you almost HAVE to be a "Philadelphia Lawyer" to understand them...

Any person violating any of the provisions of this section or taking part in such military organization shall be guilty of a misdemeanor if a natural person, or guilty of a felony if any other person; and any rifles, pistols, sabres, clubs or other military weapons used in violation hereof shall be forfeited. This section shall not apply to regularly constituted military units under state or federal laws; and nothing in this section shall be construed as forbidding the possession and use of rifles for color guards or firing squad purposes, or the wearing of uniforms of a military character, by an organization composed wholly of veteran soldiers who participated in any war of the United States, or by any other recognized fraternal group of long-standing in the community which uses rifles or sabres merely as a part of its ritualistic exercises and which is not specifically disapproved by the President of the United States, the Department of Defense, or the governor.

Militia
...of the Several States of the Union and of the United States of America.
We believe in the great liberalism of the Founding Fathers that all men are created equal with certain Creator endowed unalienable Rights recognized and protected by the Constitution for the United States of America. We oppose all forms of tyranny. We believe in the Right to keep and bear arms in defense of the individual, the state,and the Constitution for the united States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic.
''I, (your name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution for the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.''
"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." Article 2, Bill of Rights
" Whenever governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." - Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts
