Anger about female bringing weapon (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rifle

'weapon' is the definition.
(rifle is a kind of weapon)

'anger about female' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'rile' (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'rile' going around 'f' is 'RIFLE'.

'bringing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rifle that I've seen before include "Winchester" , "Ransack; a weapon" , "Long-barrelled weapon, normal army equipment" , "Search with intent to steal" , "Go through in search" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
