Generally because it's going to be shit similar to Weimar. Politicians within the Senate need to figure out security. It's in their interests to either use citizens loyal to themselves (a militia) or find alternative protection.Really curious as to what these "Militia's" Would be in actual practice. Like Brown shirts or are we talking Yugoslavia type shit? And why would the Combine even allow regular citizens to just raise arms and drill in paramilitary/military gear. It doesn't really make sense to me From what I've read it seems like you'd might Aswell just have the arteria arm become a full fledged faction of like Loyalist Reservists to be deployed into Sewers/Slums ect. And then have a certain Politician express interest in them, Win them over and use them to coup. I don't see the average T-1-T-2 Being allowed to physically bear arms and train, It just seems so bizarre considering we have CP's literally grab people off the street and beat them. Wouldn't these Militants potentially using this training to fight against Civil Protection be seen as an Issue? It just seems so bizarre that in a literal 1984 type civilization that we'd see the regular loyalist be "Allowed" to enlist into or even form a Militia when helmets are so tightly controlled hell even kitchen knives raise a few eye-brows from Civil Protection.
If you don't vet actual loyalists, you'll probably get shot. So it needs to be people actually loyal. It'd be up in the air if you actually give them batons. You'd have to work something out with cops. Otherwise, as a politician, you give these citizens rocks or shanks or whatever the fuck to protect you less some guy bash your head in with a rock or shank you for opposing their party.
Training would no be official. It's not like the Arteria. You aren't getting firearmed trained. You aren't getting anything official. Best you can do is getting a stick to bash someone's head in.
