Army, National Guard to Practice GUN CONFISCATION DRILLS!!!

I was military police, (years ago) and I am all for realistic training, but I do find this a bit disconcerting, after all why not do this sort of training on an actual military base, they have housing, roads, vehicles, and everything towns and cities have. I don’t see the reason for doing this sort of training in the public arena, and believe it to be a dangerous and unnecessary exercise

In most cases I side with the military, but this does leave a bit of bad taste in my mouth and I believe it to be ill conceived, and I would bet it is stopped by wiser more thoughtful people before it actually occurs.

Arcadia had a population of 443 with 183 housing units; a land area land area of 0.98 sq. miles; a water area of 0 sq. miles; ...

If they want your guns ,they will just come,push you down, and take them from you and there's not a damn thing you will be able to do about it.

just ask these folks...

I keep wondering when the military, police, etc. is going to wake up and realize WHO they're protecting; that the bogeyman, "terrorist", drug dealer is their BOSS. Are they REALLY going to confiscate guns, ammo and shoot their own country folk just to protect the very bastards who have been robbing, controlling and lying to their very own families and neighbors??
They really need to wake the fuck up!

Hearing rumors of the Texas National Guard being placed on alert by the Governor to possibly deal with the Mexican situation on the border. Anyone know any one in the Texas National Guard who can verify whether this is true or not?

Guardsmen to conduct urban training at Arcadia in April

By BUTCH HEMAN

The Carroll National Guard unit will train on urban military operations by holding a four-day exercise at Arcadia.

The purpose of the April 2-5 drill will be to gather intelligence, then search for and apprehend a suspected weapons dealer, according to Sgt. Mike Kots, readiness NCO for Alpha Company.

Citizens, law enforcement, media and other supporters will participate.

Troops will spend Thursday, April 2, staging at a forward operations base at Carroll. The next day company leaders will conduct reconnaissance and begin patrolling the streets of Arcadia to identify possible locations of the weapons dealer.

The primary phase will be done Saturday, April 4, when convoys will be deployed from Carroll to Arcadia. Pictures of the arms dealer will be shown in Arcadia, and soldiers will go door to door asking if residents have seen the suspect.

Soldiers will knock only at households that have agreed to participate in the drill, Kots noted.

"Once credible intelligence has been gathered," said Kots, "portions of the town will be road-blocked and more in-depth searches of homes and vehicles will be conducted in accordance with the residents' wishes.

"One of the techniques we use in today's political environment is cordon and knock," Kots explained. "We ask for the head of the household, get permission to search, then have them open doors and cupboards. The homeowner maintains control. We peer over their shoulder, and the soldier uses the homeowner's body language and position to protect him."

During this phase of the operation, troops will interact with residents and media while implementing crowd-control measures and possibly treating and evacuating injured persons.

The unit will use a Blackhawk helicopter for overhead command and control, and to simulate medevacs.

The drill will culminate in the apprehension of the suspected arms dealer.

Alpha Company will conduct a review of the drill on Sunday, April 5.

A meeting to give residents more information and accept volunteers will be held 7 p.m. Monday, March 2, in the Arcadia American Legion hall.

Kots said the exercise will replace Alpha Company's weekend drill for April.

"We have a lot of extended drills this coming year," he added.

In addition to surveillance, searching and apprehension, the exercise will also give the troops valuable experience in stability, support, patrol, traffic control, vehicle searches and other skills needed for deployment in an urban environment.

"This exercise will improve the real-life operational skills of the unit," said Kots. "And it will hopefully improve the public's understanding of military operations."

The pre-drill work with residents is as important at the drill itself.

"It will be important for us to gain the trust and confidence of the residents of Arcadia," said Kots. "We will need to identify individuals that are willing to assist us in training by allowing us to search their homes and vehicles and to participate in role-playing."

"We really want to get as much information out there as possible, because this operation could be pretty intrusive to the people of Arcadia."

The thing these idiot feds don't realize is that those of us who have registered weapons also have unregistered weapons in the event that they do come around to confiscate guns.

My advice...get one registered weapon, and have 3 or 4 unregistered ones hidden on your property.

Protect yourself.

Was about to call you a bad name, but you may be right. I've checked thru this site and see nothing on the exercise in question:

Unfortunately, there are too many that will get there rocks off doing something like this. And there are some that believe that when this time comes, foreign troops will be used to "execute" the plan.

I would never bury a gun. This is supposed to be America, Land of the Free. I live accordingly.

If it's time to bury them, it's time to use them.

A bit disconcerting.I was an army infantry officer and if anybody knocks on my door looking for weapons they're fucking dead.It's acclimating people to take our guns and I will fight them.

The thing these idiot feds don't realize is that those of us who have registered weapons also have unregistered weapons in the event that they do come around to confiscate guns.

This drill is programming bull crap
TPTB in this scenario would easily know perfectly well where a stash of weapons was with far less man hours looking at a monitor screen
