I have never 'run' a firearm but do understand the intended usage of the term...and since it is primarily used by Americans I just put it down to not speaking English.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I equate "running" something to refer to a piece of equipment that is motorized. You are running that equipment only when the motor is running. In my mind one can run a drill press, or a chain saw, or a generator. Until I see a motorized gun I will not use that term in regards to a firearm. It sounds ignorant to me. The General Electric Mini-gun does have an electric motor, which enables it to have a rate of fire of 2,000 to 6,000 rounds a minute. So yes, one can "run" a mini-gun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minigun

What about the automatic cycling of an AR. Does one not want the rifle to "run" (ie operate) correctly? I believe the term gets muddled a bit, but for one to say "I run a Sako Vixen for coyotes." Or one to ask "What rig are you running for deer this year?" is acceptable in most all circles of firearm and hunting enthusiasts. (haha "rig" is another term cringeworthy to some.) Just my opinion on the matter...everyone use what they wish so long as the communication is made, I see no issue.

Hmmm, I thought gun running was illegal. Wasn't that what Oliver North went to jail for? For President Reagan way back? miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Hey 'flave where were ya yesterday, county? Testeing gear for us. Glad to see your functioning in the cold. Lol
I don't know for sure, but I am guessing the "clip" thing verbiage resonated from the millions that carried Garands and Springfields. It just carried over.
My old man (84, Korean War) says "clip".

I was sitting in a mall waiting for my wife, when a guy sat down next to me. He looked at my cap, noticed it was from seed company, and asked me if I farmed. I told him I did a little, and he said he did too, only a he farmed a lot. He said he "ran" John Deere equipment, and asked me "what do you run". I said "depends on who's after me". He didn't think it was funny. This is the younger generation versus the older. I don't run guns, I shoot them, and think the term "running" a gun is just downright stupid.
By the way, OrangeOkie, I don't think it was a stupid question.

GESELL, the unpredictable 79-year-old Federal District Judge who presided over the Iran-contra trial of Oliver L. North, saved a final surprise for last by punishing Mr. North for his crimes with a sentence that included a fine, community service and probation, but no prison term.Jul 9, 1989

It makes perfect sense if used properly. Such as, "I run a Remington 700 that will shoot sub-MOA/drive tacks all day long if I do my part".
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

Apparently it doesn't make sense if you no longer have a prostate.

Nice new topic though. Some dick face will come along in a few years and ask the same questions and get the same responses.
You know 99% of the questions on these forums are fellas trolling for supporters of their own stupid thoughts and decisions, right?

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
