Long way to go to build an actual militia, but it could be a start.The Florida State Guard is now accepting applications.
The Governor's Office on Tuesday promoted two listings — one inviting Floridians to join the 400-man volunteer force, another seeking one person to lead it.
“If you love the state of Florida, have a desire to help your community, and have skills beneficial to protect the state from a disaster, we encourage you to apply to join the FLSG,” says a news release.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced plans last year to revive the force after decades of dormancy. The state guard, he says, will assist the Florida National Guard during natural disasters and other states of emergency.

Ohio still has a naval militia, Some people falsely think it's to protect us from the Canadians, 
but that's not really it anymore.
