"Hamilton concludes by saying that the people, who are similarly armed as the army, and similarly trained in the use of the arms, would be a deterrent against the misuse of the army."

Given what is being said here about the 2nd Amendment and Hamilton, would it be possible for Governor's (they would be Republican's no doubt) to call for a "practice" assembly of "irregulars" (who would assemble at a location(s) prescribed by the state governor) openly carrying arms? Was that ever done in any state?

Yes. They can and they have. Not much during the past Century though...
