I never said they couldn't form. I'm just saying that in Vale, which is well defended from outside threats and the police are good enough to deal with outbreaks of criminals and the White Fang inside the city (supposedly), and where it's all around a pretty good city to live, a militia aimed at the protection of Vale wouldn't be warranted or even really contemplated in the average citizen's mind, and wouldn't be created by Huntsmen or HUntsmen in Training.

In Mistral however, like you suggetsed, I can see militia's springing up. And probably eventually turning into gangs rather than militias after a while, to be honest.
