My comments:
Jumping the gun is a sporting term originally.
Next time you watch a 100-meter dash at the Olympics on live TV, watch closely.
The race begins when runners hear the sound of a gunshot, or pistol shot to be more precise - which is the signal used today to tell the players it’s time to run.
Before that, though, you’ll hear the announcer say “On your marks…. Get set”. Those are calls for the runners to move to their designated starting spots and get ready to “Go”, which shout-out is replaced now by the pistol shot in any formal sports meet.
Anyways, one or two over-eager players may move their feet before they hear the shot and that’s a foul punishable by a warning for a first time offense and by expulsion for the second time.
And that foul, a violation of rules, is called “jumping the gun”, meaning you’ve done something before their proper time or before it’s your turn.
In other words, you’re in too much of haste.
