Although the subject is the correct interpretation of the right to keep and bear arms as militia under the Tenn. constitution some of it has bearing on the militia in general.
I've read something like this before; Where individuals had no right to carry or own firearms, but only practicing members of a milita. But in regards to the writings of the "framers", they were quite adamant about preserving individual rights not otherwise guaranteed in any constitution.
In the U.S. Constitution, it only referenced the most important of rights and the rest... open for interpretation. So I guess that was their mistake?
Off topic, I have family in Crosseville down there. Very neat terrain, and very beneficial to the militia in a time of crisis.
