“When I was 18, I was shooting an M-16 at Camp Medina Texas during my USAF Basic Training.”

My DI beat it into our heads that we fire our rifles and shoot at targets.

Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, along with Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz, is scheduled to speak at the NRA’s annual meeting in Houston on Friday, three days after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that has left at least 14 children and one teacher dead.

"My DI beat it into our heads that we fire our rifles and shoot at targets."

Same with my drill sergeants in regards to "rifles" or "weapons." But we "fired" at targets, too. Something was shot, only if it was hit or destroyed. It still seems funny to me, when someone says that they "shoot" their "gun."
