They were not trained, with weapons orveven simulated weapons, Christiansen said- "The militia was once, and still should be, an organization of honor and respect," he said.

Suddenly, the local militia was operating under too much suspicion, even though its intentions were peaceful, Yoder said. jO i Besides the bad publicity gen-1 erated by the Oklahoma killings, i his group was also stung by the lack of support offered by the Box Elder County Commissioners and Gov. Mike Leavitt, Chris-tiansen said.

Leavitt's office refused to recognize the militia, saying the governor was satisfied that local law enforcement could handle any calamity within the state. Christiansen said the militia's members were disappointed with his decision and might decide to re-group under another name.
