Karl, That is correct, it is an individual right, but not an unlimited right. My discussion relative to Militia started when Jim Williams claimed to be a member of the Militia due to his maleness and age…thus he had teh right to carry any weapon he so desired based on the 2nd Amendment. The fact is that back when the constitution was written, folks were so scattered about that it was impractical for folks to muster at a central armory to arm themselves in time of emergency. Thus, they needed to keep arms with them so they could go directly to the point of emergency rather than wait the (days…weeks…depends on where they lived) it would take them to go to an armory and then to the point of emergency.
