See the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings. Shelter in place is Marshall Law.

If such restriction were imposed by the federal government my first thought would be toward its legitimacy then its real need. There was a day when most Americans had complete trust in their government. Today that trust has eroded as government continues to fail miserably, systematically remove citizens rights and work toward a socialistic state somewhat like the European model. My response might be quite different if it was mandated by a state for obvious reasons
If you will recall federal politicians seem to have gotten really good at creating pseudo crisis moments and playing the fear factor. In my view such a federal mandate would have to be one heck of a demonstrable reason to invoke such action. |

Shelter-in-place is a request. Martial law is law, enforceable by arrest and use of deadly force to achieve compliance. There's a bit of a difference.

Anything is possible. I think this is highly improbable. I wonder if Chicken Little will post on this topic!

Ten years ago the thought never entered my mind but today I think about it a lot. Things have changed that much in our country. Yes it could happen and a lot of people feel that way. We are prepared to bug out to locations where we can be free. People living in big cities and highly populated areas will not have much choice but to obey or be ??? It is sad to think that military and police would follow the commands of one person wanting total control and power. It has happened in past history quite often.

It's not could it happen, but when it will happen. Every country that has gone to the point of voters raiding the treasury by wanting more has collapsed and failed. We are already past the point of more people getting than paying. So get ready, it will happen.

Martial law here would mean troops in the streets. Highways cordoned off, restricted times to be out. Maybe even restrictions on "goods" to be had. Television wouldn't be like it is now...it would be state-run "news". I think if/when this would happen it would be a LIFE like we've never before experienced. Curfews...that kind of thing.

I've feared martial law ever since the Homestead Act. We've given up our rights for security and it only gets worse. The more rights and freedoms we are willing to give without even a whimper, the more willing our politicians are to take more and more freedoms from us.
Something tells me that I would one of those shot or imprisoned for disobeying a curfew or refusing to obey a "law" I considered unconstitutional.

I don't know exactly what Martial Law is...and the only "Homestead Act" that I can find is this one; Homestead Act n1. (Law) an act passed by the US Congress in 1862 making available to settlers 160-acre tracts of public land for cultivation 2. (Law) (in Canada) a similar act passed by the Canadian Parliament in 1872 Sometimes when I see things like what happened at Ferguson, I have feared a national race uprising. Would then Martial law be when the National Guard would be called in??? I learn a lot of people on this forum. Have we ever had Martial Law here in this country other than a regional situation? Didn't that happen during Hurricane Katrina?

Perhaps all of this discussion is a waste of time when you consider our government can't and won't keep illegals out. I mean it has to be easier to leave then to enter?

It appears this discussion is being to drift too politically so, perhaps for enlightenment we should perhaps point to an event that we agree would warrant such an action. I believe a major cyber/ hacking breach would create the need for such action
