It used to be the custom for all free males between 18 and 45 to show up for drill once a month. Usually after church.

The interesting point I always see is that the militia is suppose to be well regulated but it does not continue that it is the right of the militia to keep and bear arms but the right of the people.

That means if you are a member of the militia or not. Under 18 or over 45. Male or female. Able bodied or disabled. You still have the right to keep and bear arms.

Because you are part of "the People".
