Sorry this is a Washington fishing forum so I didn't notice your Californian/USness.

The federal definition of the militia in the United States is codified in 10 U.S.C. § 246 , Unorganized militia: This includes all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and (except as provided in 32 U.S.C. § 313) under 45 years of age who are citizens of the United States or have declared their intention to become citizens, as well as female citizens who are members of the National Guard. Ok this is slightly different from the Washington State definition but largely the same,

California's definition of the militia is outlined in the California Military and Veterans Code, Division 2, Chapter 2 (The Militia), particularly §§ 120–130. The unorganized militia includes able-bodied citizens of California who are not enrolled in the organized militia. While the federal definition (10 U.S.C. § 246) specifies males aged 17 to 45 (and certain females in the National Guard), California's definition is less explicit about age and gender but generally aligns with the federal standard, encompassing citizens capable of bearing arms in defense of the state. These individuals are not actively trained, organized, or called to service under normal circumstances but can be summoned by the state in extreme situations, such as during a declared emergency, invasion, or insurrection, as outlined in the state's authority under the California Constitution and Military and Veterans Code.

Ok so like it looks like according to Federal Law, Washington State Law and California State Law it is covered. I think you misunderstand the "Federal" in Federal Law.
