A well regulated militia..

I wonder if these guys count

This is the 400th anniversary of the founding of my county. For some reason they seem excited about it. I went to one of the events yesterday. A bunch of the living history, reenactors from the Cittie of Henricus at Dutch Gap were there. They had a rifled wheel lock hunting gun dating from early 1600's. It had an external dog spring and gorgeous mother-of-pearl inlay. Spent about an hour talking to these guys. They build cannons, one of them restores old wooden boats and they have really cool uniforms, if you like that Charles I cavalier look. They have also shown up in a bunch of films.

Think I'll spend some time over at Dutch Gap. I wonder if these guys are covered by the "well regulated militia" in Article 2.
