    jump the gun/jump to the gun

    Comment
    was ist der Bedeutungsunterschied zwischen "jump the gun" und "jump to the gun?"

    Ich glaube "jumping the gun" = einen Fruehstart machen, waehrend
    "jumping to the gun" = voreilige Schluesse ziehen (aehnlich wie "jumping to conclusions").

    The difference is that 'jump the gun' is immediately intelligible while 'jump to the gun' reminds one of 'skip to my Lou (my darling)'.
