The owner, of course
The difference between patrol rifles and assault rifles. Both terms (not guns) are sort of recent inventions. One is designed to evoke fear and one safety. How about just rifles?

So if I take 16 hours of education and yearly checkups can I call it a patrol rifle too? The cops must be lousy shots if they have to qualify yearly just to possess it. Pity the 99% of cops who can fire 3 magazines at you from 10 feet and only graze you.

In many states, the requirements for carrying a concealed pistol are GREATER than the requirements that some police agencies require of their officers. In some places, they don’t even need to FIRE their service pistol in order to re-qualify.

Assault Rifle isn’t all that new a term.
I don’t know anyone that owns any assault rifles off the top of my head. An older friend of mine owned a few class 3 toys back before I met him, including an AK47 and AK74, both of which are assault rifles.
I own a number of semi-auto rifles that look like assault rifles though.

Still a tragic misnomer: “Patrol” is the original [real] name of the sport of Biathlon. So, it’s not a “Patrol” rifle, either. Look it up–the team officer had to carry a pistol.
