Actually, weapon usage was uncommon among non-criminals in ACD's books, so Watson's military service was constantly brought up in his owning and using a pistol, as well as his steadiness, lack of nerves, and general willingness to go into dangerous situations. There's really no way to know whether the military changed Watson because he's left the military when we meet him. So, yeah, you're not too familiar with canon yourself.

I personally think it is played up because of the recent war in Afghanistan. It's a pretty clear correlation between that and the war in the books and explains his having a firearms license (or not. I'm pretty sure Watson wasn't supposed to have a gun in ACD but still had it from his time in the military).
