I meant it as unconstrained actually - the rationale and the right are separate things. Essentially unrestricted for the sake of practicality.
Thus two separate points.
1. It is important to have a populace capable of using firearms. 2. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed.
Of course the interpretations are for better or worse living in practice regardless of plain text - freedom of the press still applies to internet and unfortunately the special pleading of obscenity laws have survived for centuries.
As to "training," there wasn't a regimen of regular firearms training per-se. It was generally considered common knowledge to know how to load and fire one's musket. As to any comparison of modern training, it seems to me like today's police, at least in major cities like NYC receive less training than a typical gun owner outside major cities.
