Be Ever Vigilant!
It is codified in the State of Florida Constitution that Florida has an ORGANIZED militia -- which is the national guard and an UNORGANIZED MILITIA which is every other law abiding citizen with a gun. Both are subject to call up for genuine emergencies.
The last time the Florida unorganized militia was utilized was after Hurricane Andrew when neighborhoods came together to fend off looters. It was not unusual to see a guy with a slung AK-47 (semi) or AR-15 (semi) chatting with a cop on a street corner in Homestead right after the storm. Those guys stopped a lot of criminal activity and both the national guard and the cops knew it.
If the USSC tries to weasel out of the proper ruling by framing the holding in the narrow point of the above quoted question, one of the lawyers needs to bring up the existence of the unorganized militia in Florida. I'll bet other states have similar verbiage in their Constitutions.
Do you know if Justice Kennedy has ever expressed an opinion on the 2nd?
Meanwhile, I’ll be praying for a Federal-level Castle Doctrine.
