Mabe im all mixed up in the head, but arent weapons for assault and defense.I grew up calling them guns.Later my drill instructor Informed me that there was a differance between a rifle and a gun.Now even BOWS are refered to as weapons on T.V. I dont feel right thinking its a weapon unless im hunting people,or they are hunting me.Does anyone else feel like the term weapon is being misused.
I always treat a deadly firearm of any sort as a weapon (i.e. BOWS). No, most of us may not be heartless but we ARE killers and accidents happen. I prefer to always refer to my firearm as a weapon first and foremost. Safety first.
If you were in the Marines (Like I was) then you of all people should know this.
