30. Not so, it's spelled militia. PA's constitution says

Edited on Wed Dec-06-06 08:49 PM by jody

Inherent Rights of Mankind
Section 1. All men are born equally free and independent, and have certain inherent and indefeasible rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, of acquiring, possessing and protecting property and reputation, and of pursuing their own happiness.

Right to Bear Arms
Section 21. The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.

Pennsylvania has a long history of using its militia and you can find such laws at PENNSYLVANIA SESSION LAWS

You might also learn about the Pennsylvania Military Reserve, PA’s unorganized militia under 10 USC 311 and similar organizations in other states at State Guard Association of the United States.
