This past March 7, the National Guard in South Carolina performed door-to-door ‘wellness checks’ in an state-wide drill entitled Operation Vigilant Guard. The stated purpose was to prep for a Category 4 hurricane disaster.
Overall, around 2,000 military personnel and 5,000 persons from the South Carolina emergency management divisions participated.
This certainly harkens back to Hurricane Katrina disaster, where the National Guard and local law enforcement confiscated guns door-to-door.

Another ignorant cartoon troll.
I want you Yankees just to stay the hell out of South Carolina.
Your a bunch of paranoid morons.
Blown way out of proportion. Sc national guardsman are not taking your guns, relax
Stay off my property.
Regardless why they took them it was theft & a violation of the 2nd & 4th amendments.
Would you tell us if you were against us, hell no. The government is corrupt.
I am a part of that us. I have a regular job. I love a life no different from anyone else. Now why would I or any other national guardsmen would we do anything against normal life. It’s people like you that cause fearmongering amongst everyone. The health and wellness checks are to make sure no one is dead during and after a disaster. The government is completely different than that of the people of the military. See we actually care what happens to this country as to the guys in washington. You are getting politics and the military mixed up bud. The military would be the first to stand up for the people. If the government were to go against Its people I can promise you we would be the first to put a stop to it.
They didn’t come by my house. If they had I would have offered them all a cup of coffee. These guys were there for the October 15 flood. All they were confiscating then was stranded people!!!
Ahemmm this was a training exercise that all participants agreed to ahead of time. We have several NG bases here in SC…
