Read enough conservative blogs over the years, and you get that most of them have a pretty intense hero fantasy. They get off on war porn, fantasies mostly involving other peoples' heroism as most of the 101st keyboard commandos have never had any intention of enlisting. But many of them are gun nuts, and like all gun nuts I've ever known (I don't mean all people who own guns, or hunt, or whatever, I mean gun nuts), they have a hero fantasy which involves them killing an assailant with their gun.
So this kind of heroism probably doesn't really resonate.
