"A sales tactic. Interestingly there are now a large portion of gun buyers who are first time buyers who gave up being anti-gun as a matter of perceived practicality. I hope they get training"
Actually they don't need to advertise, as soon as the news comes out, they are deluged with customers.

Training? Highly unlikely. Most people facing a home invader are so shaken they probably couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Hands shake, pulse hammers. Those on for example SWAT teams need to undergo biweekly desensitization so they can function in that kind of emergency' miss ONE such session and they can't go to the next emergency.
A lot of the Hairy Chested Administrator of Frontier Justice stuff is just conceit. Facing a threat to one's life takes more than conceit and most people aren't up to it.
Fear is one reason for semi-automatic firearms. People under stress, and life or death situations are stressful, tend to shoot with less accuracy than when not under stress, leading to firing multiple rounds.
As a Marine I was trained for 3-5 round bursts when selecting auto and machine gunners 5-7 round bursts. In real life a scared shitless combatant might just empty their magazine with one squeeze. Cops always shoot until the perp goes down.
When I had a job that required travel, I asked my wife if she wanted a gun where it was accessible to her. She said no, she would rely upon our dog. I taught her to shoot but she knows it's not in her to kill someone. Add people who wouldn't be able to use deadly force to your list of people who should not carry a gun since they are carrying it for an attacker in that case.
