@hippyjoe1955 [quote] I since sold my rifle (never owned a gun) [/quote]

@lilcountrygrl According to riflemen a gun is a mounted weapon and a rifle is freely carried about. A machine gun is normally on a tripod. An artillery piece is on wheels. The gun on a tank is mounted to the tank. A rifle is carried by the rifleman and is not normally mounted or supported by anything except the body of the rifle man.
