57. PMFJI but I think tridim is making an intentionally misleading statement here

I provided the definition, from California law, of the state militia. The requirement is "able-bodied", which as I see it says nothing about mental health.

And as I have said repeatedly over a period of many years, militia membership has NO RELATIONSHIP to eligibility to own a gun in California or any other state.

MILITARY AND VETERANS CODE

SECTION 120-130

120. The militia of the State shall consist of the National Guard,
State Military Reserve and the Naval Militia--which constitute the
active militia --and the unorganized militia.

121. The unorganized militia consists of all persons liable to
service in the militia, but not members of the National Guard or the
Naval Militia.

122. The militia of the State consists of all able-bodied male
citizens and all other able-bodied males who have declared their
intention to become citizens of the United States, who are between
the ages of eighteen and forty-five, and who are residents of the
State, and of such other persons as may upon their own application be
enlisted or commissioned therein pursuant to the provisions of this
division, subject, however, to such exemptions as now exist or may be
hereafter created by the laws of the United States or of this State....
