Yeah, I was going to be more delicate about it, but...yeah, that's how I see it too. When I lived in northwest MO, we had a very small detachment of white supremacist militia members living by the family farm. They were all guys who skipped out on 'Nam (all had some excuse or another for not going) or barely missed the '91 Gulf War (also lots of excuses for not joining).
If you want to hang out with firearms enthusiasts and sharpen your skills, join an IDPA/IPSC/NRA gun club and go shoot. My impression of most private militias is that they are the ultimate in Mall Ninja-ism--but with an unhealthy dose of political or religious nuttery.
