Sec. 94.
It is unlawful for any body of men or women, other than the
regularly organized militia of this State, troops of the United States,
Grand Army posts, camps of the Sons of Veterans or organizations of
veterans of the Spanish-American War, Philippine Insurrection, World War I,
World War II, or any future wars, dedicated to the welfare of the State and
nation, to associate themselves together as a military company or
organization, to drill or parade with arms in this State, except as
hereinafter authorized; but, by and with the consent of the Governor,
independent regiments, battalions or companies, organized for the purpose
of recreation or to acquire military knowledge that may better enable them
to serve the State in time of public peril, if such should arise, may
associate themselves together as a military body or organization and may
drill or parade with arms in public in this State, and students of
educational institutions, where military drill is a part of the course of
instructions, may, with the consent of the Governor, drill and parade with
arms in public under command of their military instructors. Nothing herein
contained shall be construed so as to prevent benevolent or social
organizations from wearing swords. All military organizations in and by
this Section permitted to drill and parade with arms, shall, on occasions
of public parade, be required to carry the United States flag in addition
to any private ensign which they may carry. The consent herein specified
may be withdrawn at the pleasure of the Governor.
