Here's a site for you to peruse re militia. militia-watchdog.org I can't find the spot, but the author estimates (declared) militia membership in the USA to be about 50000 people. There's a big difference between wearing camo and having a coupla Remingtons in the back of the truck and being a militia member. A lot of ordinary folk do that in Idaho. Kinda like, wearing Birkenstocks and tie-dye in Berkeley does not make you a Communist. :-)

Christine, making and believing a statement like this. <<<My daughter and husband visited Idaho, and found it full of white supremacists and guns. >>> Is the same as saying San Francisco is full of people with aids, so I would never live there. Statistically speaking there may be more aids victims in San Francisco then in many other area's but as with Idaho it tells you next to nothing of the people and culture of the area. As a matter of fact, it limits ones views so as to miss the wonders and beauty of the people and area in question. Idaho is a wonderful state, full of wonderful people who add greatly to the richness of what America is all about. You really need to travel more. Michael
