Abbreviation thread

Pro2A · January 8th, 2008, 10:15 AM

We should have an abbreviation thread for reference (possibly posted as a sticky, somewhere where it could be easily found). I for the life of me can't finad anything like this. Especially for new members and what all that alphabet soup means. I've been on this forum for a while and at times still don't know what a lot of the abbreviations mean. I'll post what I know off hand for the new people. Maybe a mod or admin can put them all in one place for quick reference.

LEO = Law Enforcement Officer
BG = Bad guy
GG = Good Guy
LTCF = Licence to carry firearms
CCL = Concealed carry licence
CCW = Concealed carry weapon
IMHO = In my humble opinion
CC = Concealed carry
IWB = Inner waste band (holster)
OWB = Outer waste band (holster)

BUG = Back up gun
AD = Accidental discharge (Sometimes used when one don't quite make the potty in time!)

Go check in the Forum Help & Extras up top ....

I think the acronyms are fairly complete ... let me know if there are many missing and I'll add more - no time to check right now.

A lot of those can be found under the Forum Help and Extras / General Acronyms

Doh,

Simply a case of Great Minds Thinking Alike and Nearly Simultaneously.

Not sure it's worth adding but in WA we aren't licensed to carry weapons, only pistols (stupid but true)

CPL - Concealed Pistol License
