The Calguns ACRONYM thread (OLL, MMG, AM, etc.)!!!

[oaklander]

Since we're also going over CalGuns slang....

... perhaps someone could give me the quick answer as to who 'Allison' and 'Iggy' are? Based on context, I assume they work for CA DOJ??

They both work for the DOJ. Allison is kind of out of the picture now (I think she's been reassigned within the DOJ). Iggy is still around.

She's a lawyer with the DOJ and is famous for drafting the letter that said that OLL receivers were OK in California. At the time, she didn't realize that people would get those receivers and build them up into rifles. So we can kind of thank her for this. She's also famous for attempting to evade her duty to assist with PRAR's (public record act request), and for closely working with Brady.

Iggy is a field agent, AFAIK. He's famous for shooting his desk, allegedly lying under oath, and other stuff.

They are both prime examples of fine public servants.

A lot of the ones included in the thread aren't in the 1st post. Would be helpful if they were.

You don't have RPK or WASR but maybe that's overkill...

****...acronym for Store High in Transit, just learned that last week during a radio advertisement. Came from the Civil War era when cow pies were stored on ships for fuel. When saltwater came into contact with them, it gave off some type of scent or gas, they bundled the cow pies up and stacked them, marking them in red writing with Store High In Transit (or Transport), eventually them abbreviated the verbiage, hence the acronym ****...
