    Acronym glossary?

    Can any one direct me to a location where the anacronisms (FFL etc.) might exist on this site. By the way new to CalGuns and am so thankful for this site and all the great information.
    God bless

    ummm.... those are ACRONYMS
    anachronisms are things that are out of place or order, chronologically, like a semi-auto pistol found during an archaeological dig of an 18th-century native american village.

        Anacromisms? Perhaps "anachromism"? My Oxford American Dictionary defines it thusly: 1.) a mistake in placing something into a particular historical period, 2.) the thing wrongly placed, and 3.) a person, custom, or idea regarded as being out of date.
        Things usually turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out.

                Now the rest of the responses don't make any sense!

                  Thanks for the information was just seeing if anyone was really watching
                  Some real learned people in this group. I'll be more careful next time with my spelling.
