Running a gun vs Just shooting it.

[Hoggslayer]

Maybe I'm old but I've always just shot my guns.

I hear people talk about "I run this on my gun" or "I run that kind of gun".

I run a chainsaw, I run my boat, I even run a weed eater when the dang thing will start. Is this the "in-crowd" lingo? Is it the new politically correct way of saying it, like calling a clip a magazine?

Just asking, mainly because I'm board and have no place to hunt this weekend.

because some people are tactiCOOL, and some of us just shoot pigs and ****.

ordinary people shoot guns but true operators run guns.

I think it’s the “tacti-cool” way to say it. I’d imagine most are “running” an AR or a pistol and “shooting” a deer rifle.

I run my mouth mostly, never ran a gun before.

I think it came out of the 3-gun and action pistol competitive shooting world, where you will do a "run" down a shooting lane, often times including actual running from point to point. That morphed into "running" a certain gun or accessory on your gun.

I think Rinella said something about the origin of the phrase. You can "run" all kinds of high end gear. Guns, backpacks, binos, boots, etc.

Because one of the definitions of run is operate

All my gear is cheap so I guess I can't "run" it.

Didn't Eric Holder run some guns?

So magazine is a PC word for clip now?



I thought magazine was the correct wording and clip was slang....this is a clip no?.
