Shots, `tacos` and tactics make for a training morning for American Christian militia

Members of the Patriots for America militia in Texas engage in firearms training, combining military tactics with a religious mission. The group, founded in 2015, gained attention during a migration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. Participants, including former political candidates, practice shooting and tactical maneuvers while emphasizing safety. They aim to combat human trafficking, particularly of children, and share experiences from their patrols. The training includes basic firearm handling and teamwork exercises, with a focus on ensuring safety and preparedness for real-life situations. After training, members enjoy tacos, highlighting a community atmosphere despite their serious undertakings.
