you will, as was said ,want to be VERY careful with whom you associate, but there are some great and very sane/normal folks in the groups.

I agree. So-called "survivalist" groups tend to have the reputation of being distrustful of the government; so make sure you choose wisely.

Looking at a page for one of the Florida militias, it appears that they are fairly insistent about everyone being up-front in terms of identity and whatnot. That's completely understandable, to prevent nutcases and criminals from joining.

However, it may be asking a lot of certain people to join a militia group on anything other than anonymous circumstances. There may be businesspeople, public officials and people in highly competitive professional positions (and they bring their money and resources with them) who would be interested in joining - if it weren't for the potential of negative "militia group" publicity to bulldoze their careers.
