I don't care for being PC, its nothing but a form of mind/thought control. As for the terms I use I usually use firearm, sidearm, weapon, carbine, shotgun, and pistol. I will use the term Glock if that is what I'm talking about. I never use the word "assault" because it is not the type of firearm I have or use. It wasn't even a term until the 90's. Like the other poster(s) stated I do like the term Patrol Rifle (though I usually just call it a carbine) or you can do like the DHS and refer to them as Personal Defense Weapons. If you look at DHS's requirements for a PDW they are requiring select fire. I have also seen the term Modern Musket used and if you think about it that is what they are. I also saw them refered to (in one inflammatory article) as "regime change rifles."
