I have been hanging out for about a month now and I am still seeing alot of posts that use acronyms, which is fine but it would be nice for a newbie to guns (like me) to have a point of reference for them somewhere on the forum.
The one I have discovered today was SOB. I know what it stands for in real life but here it doesn't make sense.Originally Posted by Shyster
The ones I have figured out so far are.
CC=concealed carry
OC=Open Carry
IWB = In waist band
OWB=Out of waist band

Just saw DADT. Heck if I could figure it out. Google= Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
Sometimes I think these acronyms are dumb. Spell it out.

Today, I used the RMI in my HSI to track an NDB with DME so I could intercept an ILS-LOC to avoid having to use the VOR-A into KYIP because I dont like the way my RNAV(GPS) CDI looks.
Oh wait........gun acronyms...right.....
To be serious, SOB (small of back) carry is hazardous. It opens you to the risk of fracturing vertebrae/ slipping a disk if you were to fall flat on your back.

Your pelvis is just a little more resilliant than your back when it comes to shearing forces. Originally Posted by JohnJak
