I have guns, but am not currently a member of a “well regulated militia.”

Are you an able-bodied male aged 17-45, registered with the Selective Service System, familiar with the weapons you already own, and trained to whatever degree* the state & federal governments see fit? Yes? then you fit the "militia clause" of the 2nd Amendment.

* - that the gov't chooses to not train you does not squelch your 2nd Amendment right and compliance.

Where do I find these criteria? Are you making stuff up?

I am a 59 yr. old Army veteran. So I WAS trained, but I don’t meet your criteria because I am too old, although I remain able bodied. Once registered with Selective Service, I completed my service requirement.

According to what you wrote, only males 17-45 should have firearms?
