To sack or to fire (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rifle

I believe this is a double definition.

'to sack' is the first definition.
(both can mean to steal)

'to fire' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rifle that I've seen before include "Go through in search" , "disarray" , "An arm" , "shoot?" , "Rummage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
