Right, but look at the name of the act.

(1) This act shall be known and may be cited as the “State Antiparamilitary Training Act.”

The law defines the activities of paramilitary training that would be illegal, but you can be arrested for "paramilitary training" as per the article, and that is just hokey.

I know nobody arrested for driving. Driving like paramilitary training isn't illegal, but drunk driving is. We don't have antidriving laws, but anti drunk driving laws.

So for John Q. Public who hears that you are involved in "paramilitary training" may think that you are indeed engaged in illegal activities. It certainly comes across that way when you read of folks arrested/charged as such.
