The default position is the National Guard which is under state control unless Federalized. Failing that I think most states have such provisions BUT only IF called up by the proper elected authority. Until that point no militia type right exists to those who just wish to call themselves militia and want to have military arms.

Correct, but that militia became the National Guard in 1903.

The rest of your statements about RKBA I agree with.
