His awards were stripped from him because he made stuff up in his book. The militias all had guns at home. They kept their Long Rifles at home because they were also hunting guns. In fact, in Boston in 1774 the British decided to confiscate the guns that were in private homes. They were amazed that there were hundreds of guns in the city in people's homes.

Your really should read some real history.

BTW - You can quit beating that dead horse about the militia clause in the 2nd. SCOTUS has ruled - twice.
