I have been a member of both the Organized Militia and the Unorganized Militia of Florida.
The 2017
Florida Statutes
Title XVII
MILITARY AFFAIRS AND RELATED MATTERS
Chapter 250
MILITARY AFFAIRS
250.02 Militia.—
(1) The militia consists of
all able-bodied citizens of this state and all other able-bodied persons who have declared their intention to become citizens.
(2) The organized militia is composed of the
National Guard and any other organized military forces that are authorized by law.
(3) The unorganized militia is composed of
all persons who are subject to military duty but who are not members of units of the organized militia.
(4) Only persons exempt from military duty by the terms of federal law are exempt from military duty in this state.
Incidentally, it is argued that at the time the Second Amendment was written, "well regulated" meant "well equipped."
