I translate this as "a militia is needed to protect the security of the states and the militias should be armed". I don't see where it says Grandma has a right to carry her firearm into Sam's Club where her grandchild can pull it out and shoot herself with it.

EXCATLY back then we didn't have much of an army. That's why they talk about militias. And also even if it did apply to grandma the first part CLEARLY states "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, " well if grandma has a gun then she needs to be part of a miltia and not any old one, one that is well trained. Unless you're in the national guard you're not part of militia and therefor do not have a right to a gun.
