NO - Militias are 100% legal and protected by the United States Constitution under Amendments I (Freedom of Assembly) and II (Well Regulated Militia & Right to Bear Arms), and also the Indiana State Constitution under Article 12.
GOOGLE, the news media, the National Guard, Southern Poverty Law Center, Georgetown Law, and The Trace have perpetuated a rumor that "unregulated militia is illegal"; this is false and factually inaccurate. The only thing that makes a militia "illegal" is if its members are committing illegal acts, like talking about overthrowing the government (sedition) or planning terrorist acts. Other illegal activities include making bombs, possessing contraband items or conspiring to commit illegal acts. Indiana Militia does not condone any illegal acts and actively supports the state and federal government, the military, law enforcement, and EMS. At the time of writing this June 2026, there have officially been zero (0) people arrested and/or prosecuted for being in a militia group in the United States of America.
Joining Indiana Militia is simple! Just message us and we will meet you in person. You must be a resident of Indiana, an able body person, have transportation and means to take care of yourself. This is a volunteer organization. We will not be providing weapons, do not ask. You will provide your own protection and gear. Special circumstances will be considered. See our JOIN NOW page.
We organize a variety of events throughout the year, including things listed on the PROGRAMS page. Our events are designed to train & educate and are open to all members of Indiana Militia.
If you can look at our website through all the acts of community service, kindness, and goodwill and think we are a hate group, you may want to consider that you are perhaps part of the problem. The only thing we hate is that ridiculous question. Our hearts and minds are open to all sexes, races, and religions.
The word militia is not bad, nor is it a bad word. It is literally in the Constitution of the United States, Amendment II. "A well regulated militia..." If you think a word is bad or scary, no offense, but we do not need you.
