Re: Abbreviations...

Somebody have the time to compile the lists above (including the forum link to another thread) and start a new Texas CHL Acronym Dictionary thread in Site Announcements, Questions & Suggestions? The only other place I thought it might fit is "New to CHL", but this more forum-specific than CHL-specific.

We can ask for it to be sticky-ed and reply when we think of anything missing.

Re: Abbreviations...

Other forums I go to have a sticky for common abbreviations. We could probably add one in the Site Announcements, Questions & Suggestions section and just have the OP update the list occasionally as people reply with new ones. That would keep any one person from feeling the burden of finding them all.

Here's a few of the commons ones around here just off the top of my head, feel free to ask any time you aren't sure of one:
IANAL - I am not a lawyer
MWAG - man with a gun
CCW - concealed carry weapon
IWB - inner waistband
OWB - outer waistband
RKBA - right to keep and bear arms
R2KBA - right to keep and bear arms
2A - 2nd Amendment
CC - concealed carry
OC - open carry
LEO - law enforcement officer

Other common ones I see across most forums:
IIRC - if I recall correctly
YMMV - your mileage may vary (as in, you may get different results)
DH / DW / DS / DD - dear husband / dear wife / dear son / dear daughter
