But Max, don't you see? there's nothing "Libertarian" about it at all, it's more like para-statism if you ask me. Now, if the private militia hadn't contracted with the state, and instead just went in to disarm everybody (and let's be honest, everybody else is simply a really poorly organized militia), then that'd be okay. It would be the better financed, better trained militia, dealing with the inferior one. Power of the market, my friend.
