When someone states they are "running" a firearm, is that some sort of competition, like timed shooting, or tactical course shooting? Does it include old fashioned target shooting? I read this from time to time in threads that are discussing shooting.

It started as a tacticool term and people just couldn't help but embrace the tacticool lingo. Forgive them.

Symptomatic of some of the more egregious keyboard maestro "shooters" that infest this forum.

People also run scopes. I generally only look through my optics and haven't figured out how to run them just yet. It's the next level of expert and I just can't get there.

does it require regular or premium?

Operate is a synonym of run.
Can you run a computer? Can you operate a computer? Same/same.
Can you operate a rifle? Can you run a rifle?

That ad hoc terminology seems to fall into the same category as Remy, Winnie, etc. Must float some ego boats.

Right? One can use run in about any sentence. Would you like to run a few rounds through my new rifle?

I wonder if the okie or any of his kin have ever said "I'm running in circles"
You figure they were actually running in a circle?

Maybe they are talking about "driving" a 7.62 semi auto. :-)

I always thought "running a gun" meant you are having the police check it to have a clean history, ie OK to buy.
Like "RUNNING A BACKGROUND CHECK"
The guy shooting the aimpoint scoped gun seems like more fun.
