Article 6.

Unorganized Militia.

§ 127A‑87.� Unorganized militia ordered out for service.

The commander in chief may at any time, in order to execute the law, secure the safety of persons and property, suppress riots or insurrections, repel invasions or provide disaster relief, in addition to the national guard, the State defense militia and the naval militia, order out the whole or any part of the unorganized militia. When the militia of this State or a part thereof is called forth under the Constitution and laws of the United States, the Governor shall first order out for service the national guard, the State defense militia or naval militia, or such thereof as may be necessary, and if the number available be insufficient, he shall then order out such a part of the unorganized militia as he may deem necessary. During the absence or organizations of the national guard or naval militia in the service of the United States, their state designations shall not be given to new organizations. (1917, c. 200, s. 46; C.S., s. 6860; 1963, c. 1016, s. 2; 1975, c. 604, s. 2.)

 

§ 127A‑88.� Manner of ordering out unorganized militia.

The Governor shall, when ordering out the unorganized militia, designate the number. He may order them out either by calling for volunteers or by draft. He may attach them to the several organizations of the national guard, the State defense militia or naval militia, as may be best for the service. (1917, c. 200, s. 47; C.S., s. 6861; 1963, c. 1016, s. 2; 1975, c. 604, s. 2.)

 

§ 127A‑89.� Draft of unorganized militia.

If the unorganized militia is ordered out by draft, the Governor shall designate the persons in each county to make the draft, and prescribe rules and regulations for conducting the same. (1917, c. 200, s. 48; C.S., s. 6862; 1975, c. 604, s. 2.)

 

§ 127A‑90.� Punishment for failure to appear.

Every member of the militia ordered out for duty, or who shall volunteer or be drafted, who does not appear at the time and place ordered, shall be liable to such punishment as a court‑martial may determine. (1917, c. 200, s. 49; C.S., s. 6863; 1975, c. 604, s. 2.)

 

§ 127A‑91.� Promotion of marksmanship.

The Adjutant General is authorized to detail a commissioned officer of the North Carolina national guard or member of the State defense militia to promote rifle marksmanship among the State defense militia and the unorganized militia of the State. Such officer or member so detailed shall serve without pay and it shall be his duty to organize and supervise rifle clubs in schools, colleges, universities, clubs and other groups, under such rules and regulations as the Adjutant General shall prescribe and in such manner to make them, when duly organized, acceptable for membership in the National Rifle Association. Provided, that such duties and efforts shall in nowise interfere or conflict with clubs of schools or units operating in R.O.T.C. or similar schools under the supervision of armed forces instructors. (1937, c. 449; 1963, c. 1016, s. 2; 1975, c. 604, s. 2.)
