    There’s a bunch of civilian groups in my state that call themselves militias, definitely unauthorized.

    I wonder how they got around this. Never knew

      Same way you can go a few miles over the limit and not get a ticket - they aren’t being looked at.

      Or maybe they are, and they haven’t crossed a line that makes it a “big bust” that prosecutors like to do in order to bolster their political position.

      Or some members are cops.

      Lots of illegal things happen every day without being prosecuted, doesn’t make it any more legal though.
