Yeah, I was going to say this as well. It's not exactly unheard of but Desantis gets to play to his base with this one. If any state should have one it should probably be Florida, I just wouldn't want it under that idiot.

With all the storms, hurricanes, fires, and so on they could probably use something extra.

Nearly every state has laws authorizing state defense forces, and twenty-two states, plus the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, have active forces with different levels of activity, support, and strength. State defense forces generally operate with emergency management and homeland security missions.

Or the previous incarnation of the Florida guard for that matter. It seems the only thing that distinguishes this attempt is the lunacy of the governor in question, and the and the whiff of anti-Federa rebellion in his stated reasons, and part of what makes it stand out is how easily we forget the lunacy of others.
 
But here's a chance for Florida to distinguish its state forces from others. Let them be uniquely uniformed. Let them wear tunics of a unique color, perhaps brown, to symbolize the good earth of their beloved People's Republic of Greater Florida. And give them kepis (armored inside! what a surprise, lefties!) with chinstraps.

And, for identification purposes, armbands in a distinctive shade of red, memorializing the pure and deserving blood of the Pendulous State. On the armband, a no-nonsense White circle enclosing -- oh, I don't know, some revered graphic emblem recalling ancient Aryan supremecy OK enough of that this is silly de snottis never hinted at any such thing he's a patriotic Patriot I'm gonna stop typing n

May I introduce you to the Texas State Guard?

I don't recall- did Abbot start the Texas State Guard or was it in place when he was elected?

Not that it matters much. A nut at the helm is a nut at the helm. DeSantis seems a little transparent in his motivation for firing this one up.

I would assume Texas has had one forever. After all, you don't mess with Texas!

I haven't heard of anyone requesting one recently. I haven't looked into it but does Florida even have enough money to support one? I saw the Florida School Board pulled out of the National Association because of reasons.

The CNN article says DeSantis is requesting $3.5mil from the State legislature to equip and train the citizen volunteers. So we have 200 apparently unpaid soldiers at home boy's disposal.

That doesn't seem like much, $3.5 million. What are they going to wear and shoot?

Pretty sure the crew responding to this exciting volunteer opportunity will already be heavily armed and have their own MAGA hats.

Regarding what they are going to shoot...um, how to put this diplomatically?...

What's the over/under on some of these idiots actually shooting each other? With DeSantis running the show I'd be surprised if there aren't multiple friendly fire casualties.
