Pine Barrens Militia

This is a group you've seen in the Pine Barrens? Weird-this is the first I've heard. Are they a 4x4 club?
Duh...I wasn't even thinking of them. Hopefully it is them and not some Timothy McVeigh types!
I have seen two different vehicles with stickers or writing that says Pine Barrens Militia, with camoflauge and some young rough-lookin dudes driving. My impression was skinhead types, but since some people look at me and think the same thing (bald), I could be wrong.
This link may clear things up. They appear to be a paintball club.

Six members since last June.....seems a little sparce
I know several other websites that get less members.
Militia's in the true American sense of the word are not terrorists, jihadists ect. Are there some bad apples in every group? Absolutely. But to say they are a bunch of terrorists is like saying all bikers are like the Hell's Angels or the Pegans. It's just not so. God forbid if the police were to declare marshal law because of an emergency you would be welcoming such a group. History has shown that during such an emergency you can't rely on the police for help.
I see your point, but in my experience every militia that has come down the pike has not been the type you're describing. Instead of fighting for freedom for all against a police state they are usually fighting for the tyranny of a select few such as Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, etc... Every militia group out there (that I've seen anyway) advocates freedom from excessive government, but they also tend to advocate freedom from blacks, jews, catholics, and any other non-anglos that may be around.
Understood. I would stand behind the militia's of yester year but not the neo-nazi stuff. They actually give the term militia term a bad name.
