Half the states have a State Defense Force or State Guard that is organized, well regulated, and NOT part of the military.

State guards were all rolled up into the National Guard. Or did you miss that part? This is most certainly not the "civilian" militia.

Hmmmm. Texas must not have heard that. Nor did Georgia nor did 20 other states.

"The Texas State Guard (TXSG) is one of three branches of the State Military Forces of Texas, reporting to The State Adjutant General and under the command of the Governor. The other branches of the State Military Forces of Texas are the Texas Army National Guard, and the Texas Air National Guard."

"The Georgia State Defense Force (GSDF, GASDF, or SDF) is a military unit of the Georgia Department of Defense, serving in support of the national and state constitutions under direction of the governor and the adjutant general of the State of Georgia. Members of the Georgia State Defense Force serve alongside the Georgia Army National Guard and the Georgia Air National Guard."
