"Running" a firearm - definition? #11738253 01/14/17 Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 23,319 Oklahoma OrangeOkie OP Campfire Ranger OP OrangeOkie Campfire Ranger Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 23,319 Oklahoma 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.
