Personal defense against criminal assault?

Of course. Personal defense is an equal, if not preeminent consideration
when protecting the RKBA. Defense of the nation comes second.

That's what a "militia"
defending against tyranical government is in your mind? Bizarre!

No. What's bizarre is your ignorance of our system of government.

The 2nd Amendment does not require one to be in a militia in order to
exercise the RKBA protected by the 2nd Amendment.
