Militaristic overtones are good marketing in today’s firearms industry. Smith & Wesson sells a model called the CQB, a military acronym for “close quarters battle.” Heckler & Koch relies strongly on a military appeal to market its products– “In a world of compromise, some men don’t.” A currently running SIG advertisement features a Navy SEAL emerging from the water with a P-226.

The defensive firearm is a special-purpose piece of safety rescue equipment, designed to extricate a person . . . from the immediate threat of savagely violent crime. It is like the fire extinguisher. . . . Neither piece of equipment will do you any good if you don't know how to use it or are not psychologically prepared to face danger with that gear in your trained hands in a terror situation.
