Absolutely correct. This is exactly the situation in Virginia. The politicians will immediately chop the balls off them for a couple reasons:

1. Reduce liability. No firearms training (or even handling) means less chance of any accidents.

2. Appease the libtards. If the neutered Militia is not trained to fight, the politicians can better assure the libtards raising a fuss that they have nothing to worry about.


Here in VA, the Virginia State Defense Force is prevented from doing anything at all that might be even remotely dangerous.
Firearms training? Keep dreaming.
PT? Yeah right.
Rappelling? No sir.
Martial arts? Negative.

Their biggest event is to park cars at the State Fair every year.

On equipment: You get what you inspect, not what you expect.
On training: Our drills are bloodless battles so that our battles are bloody drills.
On tactics: Cheating just means you're serious about winning.
