Forum terminology

I'm not sure terminology would be the appropriate word, but I'm just curious as to what some things stand for. I see BG and CCW and ACP being used all the time. What do those letters stand for? I'm hoping this can be a thread where people post things I've missed.

*edit* Oops! I've posted in the wrong section- Moderators, please move this to general discussion or the proper place

The page header has links to a lot of goodies, including Web Acronyms/Firearms terms. Take some time and work your way through the whole lot, you will find it worthwhile.

quick answers:

BG=Bad Guy(s)
ACP=Automatic Colt Pistol, a series of pistol cartridges.
CCW=Concealed Carry Weapon, often the condition of Carrying a Concealed Weapon

Like Huck says...
Wander through the links at the top of every page. A wealth of information to be had.

Here is the link for the acronyms used here...
